Will this help with my child's Grade 3 science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers Grade 3 science topics matched to the BC Curriculum, so your child can find the exact concept they are working on, review the lesson, and practice until it clicks.

How long are the video lessons for Grade 3 science?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and around ten minutes, keeping them short enough to hold a Grade 3 student's attention while covering one concept clearly from start to finish.

Is there a provincial test for Grade 3 science in British Columbia?

Grade 3 is not a Foundation Skills Assessment year in BC. The FSA is administered in Grades 4 and 7, so there is no provincial standardized science test at the Grade 3 level.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can watch lessons and complete practice problems at home, in the car, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how it works before subscribing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if the service is not the right fit for your family.
