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

Yes. StudyPug covers the topics Minnesota Kindergartners work on in class, so your child can find a matching lesson or practice problem whenever they need extra support on a homework question.

How long are the video lessons for Kindergarten science?

Most video lessons are short - typically a few minutes each - so they hold a young learner's attention while covering one concept at a time. Your child can pause and rewatch any section as needed.

Is there a Minnesota state science test for Kindergarten?

No. Minnesota's statewide science assessments - the MCA - are given in Grades 5, 8, and high school. Kindergarten is not a tested year, so there is no state science exam at this level.

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

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before subscribing, and every paid plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if it is not the right fit for your child.
