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

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics Kansas 4th graders work on in class. Your child can search for the exact concept they are stuck on and get a clear, step-by-step explanation right away.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and around ten minutes. They are short enough to fit into homework time, and your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch any section as many times as needed.

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

Kansas assesses science through the KAP Science assessment. Grade 4 is not one of the primary tested grades; the main science assessments occur at grades 5, 8, and 11. StudyPug still builds the skills students need at every grade.

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 else with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?
