The brief, entertaining videos are wonderful for introducing science concepts to upper elementary students.

My Take

The videos are animated, informative, explain concepts clearly, and use analogies that are relatable to children. The quizzes, which are brief and multiple choice, are good for a quick review of the concept(s) at hand. My students have expressed interest in the videos, even asking, "Is there a StudyJam for this new topic?" However, one of my 5th grade classes felt the videos seemed like they were created for younger children. Although, I only had one class that felt this way, it may provide insight into how 6th or 7th grade students would feel about the videos.
