Will this help with my child's 1st grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug lessons and practice problems are aligned to the Alaska Science Standards for 1st grade, so they cover the same topics your child is working on in class, making homework support straightforward.

What do the science lessons look like for 1st grade?

Each lesson uses short video explanations followed by practice problems and worked examples. Your child can pause, rewatch, and work at their own pace until the concept clicks.

Is there a statewide science test for 1st grade in Alaska?

Alaska's statewide science assessments are not administered in 1st grade. State science testing typically occurs at higher grade levels, so there is no standardized science test for 1st graders to prepare for right now.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access 1st grade 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 explore the content before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, giving you time to make sure it is the right fit for your child.
