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

Yes. StudyPug covers the strands taught in New Brunswick Grade 3 science, so your child can find a lesson on exactly the topic assigned and work through practice problems right away.

How long are the video lessons for Grade 3 science?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically a few minutes each, so a Grade 3 student can watch one lesson, try the practice, and move on without losing concentration.

Is there a provincial science test for Grade 3 in New Brunswick?

Grade 3 is not a designated provincial assessment year in New Brunswick. Provincial assessments are held at other grade levels, so there is no standardized science test specifically for Grade 3.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access Grade 3 science lessons and practice at home, at school, or on the go.

StudyPug Topic

NB Grade 3 Science Topics

Living Things: Structures, adaptations, and the needs of plants and animals.
Matter and Materials: Properties of solids, liquids, and gases and how materials behave.
Energy and Forces: How forces act on objects and how energy is transferred and used.
Earth and Space: Features of the Earth, weather patterns, and basic space concepts.

How StudyPug Helps NB Grade 3 Science Students

When a student gets stuck on a concept like why certain animals have special body parts or how a magnet pushes and pulls, they can search for that topic, watch a focused video lesson, and then test themselves with practice problems. For a full overview of what to expect this year, our grade 3 science help page walks through the course strand by strand.

Parents who want to see how this year connects to the next can also check the NB Grade 4 science curriculum to get a sense of where the learning heads after Grade 3.

Aligned to NB Grade 3 Science Curriculum

Every lesson and practice problem on StudyPug is built to match the New Brunswick Curriculum for Grade 3 science, covering the same strands and concepts that New Brunswick teachers follow in class, so students are always practicing material that counts.
