INSIDE A TOPIC
It starts with a movie and doesn’t stop there
BrainPOP Jr. movies turn new concepts into easy-to-understand stories that young students understand, remember, and love. Then, the connected learning activities hand that story back to students—to talk it through, practice it, and create with it—until they can explain the idea in their own words.
