Will this help with my child's 6th grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the same life science, earth and space science, physical science, and engineering design topics your child sees in class, so they can find help on the exact concept they are stuck on.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between 5 and 15 minutes, focused on one concept at a time. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch as many times as needed until the idea clicks.

Is there a Mississippi state science test for 6th grade?

Mississippi administers the MAAP Science assessment at select grade levels. Grade 6 is not a primary MAAP Science testing year; the assessment is given at grades 5 and 8, so 6th grade is a key building year.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can practice 6th grade science at home, at school, or on the go without needing any special software.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how the content works before committing. We also back every subscription with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
