sounds, etc.) maps, interactive features, and content-related vocabulary
lessons including clickable definitions. Students can search for a type of
animal and then can choose from, Fast Facts, Photos, Video clips, sound
files etc.It is still in the start up phase so certain topics, human body
and chemistry, do not have articles as yet, but there is more each week.

Hosted by an expressive orange robot named Moby and his teen companion Tim,
BrainPOP movies cover everything from the Underground Railroad to the atomic
model to Shakespeare. Interactive quizzes for assessment and enrichment
materials like experiments and creative activities supplement the movies.
Topics � aligned with state and national education standards and searchable
by state standards � are grouped within the subjects of Science, Math,
English, Social Studies, Health, Technology and Arts and Music. Our ever-
expanding library currently consists of more than 600 movies for grades 3-
12. Designed to spark children�s inherent curiosity, the movies are visually
appealing, cleverly written and speak to kids in a voice they can relate to,
but without talking down to them. All movies are closed-captioned and many
are also available in Spanish at es.brainpop.com.
