Recommended grades K-12. Brainpop contains educational videos on a wide variety of topics featuring two lovable characters, Tim & Moby. Tim is your average knowledgeable guy and Moby is his curious and mischievous, fact-loving robot. Together they explore the major academic content areas, from history to math to science. Tim & Moby make complex topics seem shockingly simple, and their videos will be great introductions to students that are new to topics. Videos come with interactive quizzes and worksheets to complete while watching the videos.
Brainpop Jr. leaves Tim behind for Annie, a younger guide with videos meant for a K-3 audience. Brainpop comes with a hefty price tag, but could be useful in a variety of settings, from independent research, to whole class lessons. Information in the videos is high quality and very engaging, even to the most reluctant learners. Brainpop does provide rotating material for free.
