Day 3 video:
Brain pop videos are no longer available on YouTube links!
Thank you so much for letting us know! I will look for replacements!
Came here to say the same; BrainPop videos say “No Longer Available”. I had the Cells & Cell Structure videos assigned for today, so instead we watched “All About Cells and Cell Structure: Parts of the Cell for Kids” video on FreeSchool/YouTube.
Thank you so much!! I will fix that link asap!
Is there an update on the video access? I am hesitant to purchase the curriculum due to the BrainPop website costing $129 a year for access in addition to purchasing the necessary books.
Thank you for writing to Guest Hollow and asking about the Brain Pop videos.
Just like all of the other books and materials that are called for in this Guest Hollow curriculum, the Brain Pop videos are an item that you will need to secure on your own. In other words you will need a subscription to watch BrainPOP videos unless you can find them legally posted elsewhere.
Having said that, last time we looked we found that you can purchase a discounted subscription here:
https://www.homeschoolbuyersclub.com/brainpop/brainpop-family-access-2/
It is also important for you to understand that the BrainPOP videos can be considered optional. Even if you were to determine that you wanted to cut them all out, there would still be plenty of videos and material without them and the curriculum would not be impacted in a significant way. We scheduled the Brain Pop videos in because one of our students really enjoyed them and the little optional quizzes afterwards helped his retention of the material.
If a subscription is not in your budget or if your student thinks the videos are childish and doesn’t enjoy them, feel free to skip them. You may want to test out a free trial on the BrainPOP site before making a purchase:
https://www.brainpop.com/get-started/
See the “Start a Free Trial” button on the link above. 🙂
do you know if you try the free trial if you would also have access to purchase as a “new subscriber” since that is what the offer is good for?
I would hate to sign up for the free trial and then not get the discount.
If you don’t know it’s ok, I just figured I’d ask.
I am afraid I do not know the answer to your question with any certainty. Please do consider writing to them and then reply again here so everyone can know what you find out.
