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

Yes. StudyPug covers the strands taught in Alaska's 4th grade science class, so your child can find a lesson or practice problem that matches exactly what they are working on at school.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and ten minutes, making it easy for your child to fit a review session into a busy evening without losing focus or falling behind.

Is there an Alaska state test for 4th grade science?

Alaska administers the Alaska Science Assessment, but the primary tested grades for science are 5th, 8th, and high school. Grade 4 is not a primary science assessment year in Alaska.

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, on the go, 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, and every paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if it is not the right fit.
