Providing a new way of learning for students aged 8 -14, BrainPOP offers innovative movies featuring the fun characters Tim and his robot companion, Moby. The movies use a storytelling method to simplify complex subjects enabling pupils to easily grasp a new topic. The quizzes give teachers the opportunity to measure comprehension before and after the lesson.
BrainPOP's success in the US and growing demand in the UK prompted the company to align its content with UK National Curriculum Standards and launch BrainPOP.co.uk. The movies accommodate multiple learning styles across a range of subjects and with no downloading required teachers can quickly engage pupils in an exciting lesson.
The online format means students can also access the content at home for a continuous way of learning in a safe and secure environment.
Sally Mills, Head of Science, Glenthorne High School in Sutton, said: "I use BrainPOP all the time in lessons as I find the animation holds pupil's interest through the colourful, informative and educationally relevant movies. I also use the quizzes at the end to help sum the lesson up. I couldn't live without it!"
BrainPOP is available as a free trial until the end of October and for purchase by schools, teachers and families at http://www.brainpop.co.uk/
