(Yeah, I could use a refresher on how that works too. They explain the xylem and the phloem and photosynthesis. They talk about the purpose of the flower, the stamen and the pistil, and pollination (there's a whole 'nother movie just about that topic too!).Īnd they tell us how plants get nutrients. Tim does most of the talking, because all Moby can say is "Beep." Moby just happens to be up in an apple tree (dropping applies on Tim's head) and so we take a look at the development of the tree from flowering to growing fruit and spreading seeds. In this movie, a student asks why the apple tree in front of her school only has pink flowers on it and no apples. The movies always start with Tim and Moby reading a letter with a question sent in to BrainPOP. In this movie, we learn about plant growth and, like all the movies, it is full of great information, presented in a clear way without being overwhelming or confusing, and always with a little bit of humor. Tim's shirt always shows what they're discussing this time. ![]() Don't laugh, they're great movies! Anyway, I was so excited when I found a few movies about trees! I've been watching lots of BrainPOP movies this summer (along with my kids) to help prepare myself for the state licensing exam requiring teachers to show knowledge of all the subjects in state curriculum standards. And BrainPOP, the website full of animated educational movies staring Tim and his funny robot Moby. If you're in a school, you've probably heard of Tim and Moby.
