BrainPOP Science complements the core science curriculum in middle school classrooms with consistent, authentic opportunities for students to apply and transfer knowledge through experiencing and practicing science in multiple contexts. It makes science learning engaging, effective, and relevant to students by activating and challenging their previous knowledge and nurturing their curiosity to think scientifically. Students approach guiding questions through observations in multiple contexts, ask interesting questions, engage in scientific debates, and construct scientific explanations and arguments with evidence.
Ready-to-use, standards-aligned investigations center around relatable guiding questions and real-world phenomena in which middle schoolers are interested and nurture their innate scientific curiosity. Embedded formative assessment opportunities build comfort and confidence for state science assessments. In addition, data manipulatives, simulations, BrainPOP 3D Worlds® , and the overarching Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) processes provide students with authentic opportunities to “be a scientist.” As a result, they build critical scientific and data literacy skills, activate prior knowledge, make and collect observations, check their understanding and construct explanations with scientific evidence and reasoning.
The product has been designed to meet the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) requirements and is aligned to science standards across all 50 states.
