BrainPop Web Sites

I am sure some of you have heard of or even browsed around 1 of the BrainPop web sites, just to find out that you need a subscription to have full access to most of its content.  Well within 2 of the 3 web sites I am going to talk about, there are actually free stuff that changes monthly for you, your students, or even parents to be able to look at on the Internet.

BrainPop Jr.: Free Stuff is a great web site that focuses on providing material focused for Kindergarten through 3rd grade students.  There is always a movie provided to talk about each subject area, along with activities and games to enhance the students' learning.

BrainPop: Free Stuff is a great web site that focuses on providing material focused for 3rd through 8th grade students.  Within this web site it categorizes the free stuff into 7 different categories along with including free stuff related to Espanol and ESL. The 7 different categories are: arts & music, engineering & technology, social studies, science, english, math, and health.

BrainPop Educators is used by signing up for a free account with a username and password.  This web site provides lesson plans related to grades Kindergarten through 12th grade, and subjects related to: arts and music, english, health, math, science, social studies, and technology.  This web site also provides educators with a curriculum calendar, academic standards, webinars and resources to better allows current ideas to be provided additional ideas related to BrainPops vision.

Check out these web sites by yourself, with a student or find a video to show all students to introduce a topic, such as nouns, angles, or nutrition to name a few.
