I have used jQuery Appear previously to achieve a similar effect. You can see it in action on Delightful WP and the code examples can be found here.

I'm not sure what you mean by "animate", but here's some code to change the class of specific elements while scrolling. Then the elements change back when you are done.

I suspect that they key thing you are looking for is the setTimout and clearTimeout functions.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Animate on Scroll</title>
  <link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/test.js"></script>

 </head>

 <body>


<div class="test"></div>
<div class="test"></div>
<div class="test"></div>

 </body>
</html>

Here's the CSS

.test {
  height: 20px;
  width: 100px;
  background-color: #0F0;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: #000;
  border-width: 1px;
}

.change {

 background-color: #F00;
}

And the Javascript

alter_elements = function() {

  $("div.test").removeClass("change");

}


var timer = null;
$(document).ready(function() {

    $(window).on('scroll resize', function(e) {
       $("div.test").addClass("change");
       clearTimeout(timer)
       timer = setTimeout(function(){alter_elements()}, 100);
    });


});
