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

Yes. StudyPug covers the same topics Mississippi 4th graders work on in class. Your child can look up any concept, watch a short video lesson, and work through practice problems to get unstuck on homework quickly.

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 a big time commitment. Each lesson focuses on a single concept and includes worked examples to make things clear.

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

Mississippi administers the MAAP Science assessment, but it is given in grades 5 and 8, not grade 4. Doing well in 4th grade science builds the foundation your child will need when that assessment arrives in 5th grade.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can study at home, in the car, or anywhere else. No app download is required - just open a browser and start a lesson.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see the content before committing. If you subscribe and are not satisfied, a 30-day money-back guarantee means you can get a full refund, no questions asked.
