Will this help with my child's 9th grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics taught in Idaho 9th grade science classes, with step-by-step worked examples and practice problems so students can work through homework questions at their own pace.

How long are the video lessons for 9th grade science?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and about ten minutes, so students can watch a single concept without losing focus. They can pause, rewind, and rewatch as many times as they need.

Is there a state science test for 9th grade in Idaho?

Idaho administers the ISAT Science assessment, but it is not given in 9th grade. Idaho science testing targets specific grade bands, so 9th graders are not in a state science assessment year.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, laptops, and desktop computers, so your child can access lessons and practice problems at home, at school, or on the go.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if the subscription is not the right fit for your family.
