Will this help with my child's 5th grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the same topics Alaska 5th graders work on in class, so your child can find a lesson or practice problem that matches what their teacher assigned and work through it at their own pace.

How long are the video lessons for 5th grade science?

Most video lessons are short and focused, typically running a few minutes each. That makes it easy for your child to watch one lesson on a specific topic without sitting through a long session before getting to practice.

Is there a state science test for 5th grade in Alaska?

Yes. Alaska administers the Alaska Science Assessment, which includes Grade 5 as one of its tested grade levels, so the content your child studies on StudyPug supports that preparation.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can review a video lesson or complete practice problems whether they are at home, at school, or on the go.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how it works before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you subscribe and decide it is not the right fit.
