**BrainPOP requires a subscription. Please see your building principal if you are interested in using this tool on a regular basis.**
BrainPOP contains animated content, much of which is aligned to state education standards. The site is designed for kids in fourth grade and up. Lessons begin with a brief animated video and include a wide variety of school- and life-related topics, some that are difficult but handled quite sensitively, including lessons on terrorism, war, sexual reproduction, and alcoholism. There's also a companion site for younger kids, BrainPOP, Jr.
