Brainpop describes itself as the leading producer of educational animated movies. Their Web site has a science page that currently contains sixty-five animated movies, with a large portion of them being physical science related. Each subject contains a 3-4 minute Movie, an Interactive Quiz, an Experiment, a Comic Strip, a How-to hands-on application, a Timeline, and a printable Activity Page. Visitors can play three movies per day for free (all of which begin by a somewhat annoying ad for subscribing) and then must pay if more are wanted. The well done movies and accompanying quizzes and activities provide excellent educational material for students between grades 5-8 and really are a joy to watch for anyone interested in learning.
