It has been a busy month at BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr.!  Here’s a review of what’s new.

BrainPOP Movies

BrainPOP celebrated Women’s History Month with three brand new movies:

Malala
What does it take to become the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize? Students find out in this new movie about the life of a brave human rights activist.

Wangari Maathai
Join Tim and Moby as they celebrate the achievements of a Kenyan activist who fought to preserve her country’s natural resources, establish gender equality, and democratize the government.

Emily Dickinson
In this movie, students examine the life of the celebrated poet and explore one of her most famous poems.

BrainPOP Game

With Earth Day around the corner, we are thrilled to launch a new eco-friendly game:

iBiome-Wetland
From our newest partner, Springbay Studio, this game challenges students to rebuild a wetland habitat destroyed by a hurricane.

BrainPOP Jr.

This month, BrainPOP Jr. introduced two new tools, a movie about science tools, and a new game, too!  

Make-a-Map
Make-a-Map is now available on BrainPOP Jr! With this tool, students in K-3 construct concept maps by connecting images, keywords, and clips from our movies as well as adding their own ideas.

New to concept mapping? No problem! Check out BrainPOP Jr.’s Concept Maps topic and tutorials at BrainPOP Educators.

SnapThought®,
A tool that empowers students to capture meaningful moments in game play, SnapThought is now available on BrainPOP Jr. in selected GameUp games.   

Students can submit annotated screenshots to a teacher through My BrainPOP and teachers can view the snapshots, write a response, and send it back!

Science Tools
From microscopes and binoculars to rulers and scales, students join Annie and Moby on an exploration of science tools in this new BrainPOP Jr. movie.

Teachley Add and Subtract
Students use addition and subtraction strategies to help jungle animals collect gold blocks in this new, interactive game.
