Will this help with my child's Kindergarten science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics Alaska kindergartners work on in class, so your child can review the same concepts at home with clear, step-by-step explanations and practice problems.

What do the science lessons look like for Kindergarten?

Each lesson walks through one science concept with clear explanations and worked examples, followed by practice problems so your child can check their understanding before moving on.

Is there a state science test for Kindergarten in Alaska?

No. The Alaska Science Assessment is not administered in Kindergarten. State science assessments in Alaska are given at specific grade levels later in elementary and middle school.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your kindergartner can access lessons and practice at home, on the go, or wherever learning happens.
