BrainPOP Science is "Investigation-driven"! Maximize your science minutes with pre-packaged scientific investigations and engineering projects where students practice the practices—and learn the content—in a single experience. Investigations Activate students' scientific learning with an embedded CER process (Claim - Evidence - Reasoning) that's anchored in relatable phenomena (與日常生活相關的現象) and proven to accelerate writing and reasoning skills. A phenomenon 現象 (singular) is an oservable event that causes us to wonder. Phenomena (pural) is used to refer to multiple observable events or processes. 現象：指可以被觀察到的事件或過程，無論是透過直接感官還是科學儀器所感知的。科學家通過對現象的觀察和研究，尋求了解其發生的機制、原因以及相關的科學規律。 Students start with the phenomenon and use scientific practices to record observations from a variety of resources—observations that they later use as evidence to form a scientific explanation and answer a Guiding Question. Engineering Projects Engage students with hands-on and digital learning experiences through our structured process. Starting with accessible problem statements, students innovate, test, and refine prototypes—strengthening their problem-solving and design thinking skills along the way. What's Inside? What's inside BrainPOP Science? Our collection of 110+ investigations across three disciplines—Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science—supports students as they explore phenomena, ask questions, gather observations, deepen comprehension, and back up their claims with evidence: just like real scientists Step 1: Activate Phenomenon Image / Video Real-world images and videos. Use to: engage, explore initial ideas, warm up, launch a discussion. Sound Bytes Three-minute podcast-like audio pieces that explore the history of science through stories that don’t make the headlines. Vocabulary 5-minute activity to help students uncover and contextualize the meaning of content-specific terms from the investigation. Step 2: Observe and Check Simulations Modified interactives from PhET and resources co-created with Field Day Learning Labs. Students explore science principles, manipulate models, and deepen conceptual understanding through interactive observation BrainPOP 3D Worlds ™ Virtual “landscapes” where students can observe and explore science concepts and conversations. Powered by CoSpaces. Data Manipulatives Real-world, scientific data in interactive charts, graphs, and maps, giving students more opportunities to enhance their understanding of key concepts. They are created in partnership with Tuva. Movies BrainPOP’s classic movies illustrate science concepts. Related Readings Engaging, informational texts that use scientific terms and principles in context. Primary Sources Provide first-hand information about a topic. Examples include documents, videos, photographs, and manuscripts. Worksheets Informational text and diagrams where students complete tables and question sets. Quizzes Multidimensional content framed in a variety of question types that mimic high-stakes testing. Step 3: Explain Science topics BrainPOP Science disciplines Our collection of 110+ investigations across three disciplines—Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science—supports students as they explore phenomena, ask questions, gather observations, deepen comprehension, and back up their claims with evidence: just like real scientists.

It’s an automated feature designed to save teachers time and make grading easier! Assisted Grading analyzes students’ Claim-Evidence Reasoning (CER) responses using the BrainPOP Science rubric, and provides suggested scores and feedback. Teachers can choose to apply or modify any of these suggestions.
