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

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics Arkansas 5th graders work on in class. Your child can look up a concept the same night it comes up, watch a lesson, and try practice problems until it makes sense.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes, so your child can fit one in after school without losing focus. Lessons are short enough to rewatch specific parts when something needs a second look.

Is there a state test for 5th Grade science in Arkansas?

Yes. Arkansas administers the ACT Aspire Science assessment, and Grade 5 is one of the tested years. StudyPug lessons are aligned to Arkansas K-12 Science Standards, the same standards the test draws from.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can practice science 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. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can sign up with confidence.
