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

Yes. StudyPug covers the same topics your child sees in their Alabama 4th grade science class, so they can find a relevant lesson or practice problem whenever they get stuck on homework.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and about ten minutes, making them easy to fit into a school night. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch any lesson as many times as needed.

Is there a state science test for 4th grade in Alabama?

Alabama's ACAP Science assessment is not administered in 4th grade. StudyPug still helps students build a strong foundation in the Alabama Course of Study: Science topics covered at this grade level.

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, in the car, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?
