Will this help with my child's Grade 4 science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the strands and topics taught in Ontario Grade 4 science classrooms, so your child can find a lesson matching what was covered that day and work through practice problems with step-by-step explanations.

How are the science lessons presented on StudyPug?

Each topic is taught through video lessons with worked examples, followed by practice problems that include guided solutions. Students can pause, rewatch, and work at their own pace to build understanding before moving on.

Is there a provincial science test for Grade 4 in Ontario?

Grade 4 is not an EQAO assessment year for science in Ontario. EQAO assesses students in Grades 3, 6, and 9, so your child will not sit a provincial science test this year. StudyPug still helps them stay strong throughout the year.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access Grade 4 science lessons and 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 committing. Every paid plan also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there is no risk in getting started.
