TESTIMONIALS

What middle school teachers are saying

"BrainPOP Science...experiences mirror professional scientists' authentic work, requiring my students to use their reasoning skills in these investigations."

Wichita School District

"The lessons are filled with amazing visuals, engaging videos, relevant and interesting experiences, and strong instructional strategies where all students can see themselves in the content."

Charleston County School District

[In BrainPOP Science,] there are so many investigations that connect with the students and what we're doing…some of the questions were the exact state test questions that students have had…and some were [leveled to encourage] students, almost saying “Keep going, you got this.” Kids need those questions every now and then, too!

Kristin Samples

"The varied assignments—the videos, readings…3D animations and virtual lands—[are] really good at meeting different levels of learning and exposing [students] to the same content multiple ways."

Designed by middle school science teachers

Our learning design team is made up of former middle school educators—with over 50 years of combined experience—who are passionate about creating engaging and effective science learning experiences. They bring their classroom expertise and a deep understanding of student needs to every BrainPOP Science resource, investigation, and engineering project.

How BrainPOP Science supports teachers of all experience levels

"We like to think about what we do as preparing something for the teacher down the hall. When thinking about BrainPOP Science, we spend a lot of time thinking about how to make what we are producing as effective and as enjoyable as it can be. So I ask myself pretty much constantly….Is that the best way to ask this question? Is this the most productive and accessible way to present this information?"

Hannah Bonville

Lead Learning Designer, STEM

“What I love most about working on BrainPOP Science is getting to research the science concepts deeply myself, to be able to ask engaging questions that serve as the backbone of our investigations, like: “why do the biggest trees in the world only grow in the west coast of the United States?”
