NY 9th Grade Science Curriculum
Give your 9th grader the support they need to keep up with New York's science curriculum. Video lessons and practice problems cover every strand, from genetics to circuits.
About 9th Grade New York science
New York follows the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS), structured around disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. In 9th grade, students work across biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science - covering cell division, basic genetics and inheritance, chemical bonding and reactions, solutions, circuits, Earth systems, biogeochemical cycles, and human impact on the environment. StudyPug provides video lessons and practice problems for every one of these strands, matched to what New York students learn in class.
- Strands: cell division, genetics, inheritance, chemical bonding, reactions, solutions, circuits, Earth systems, biogeochemical cycles, and human impact
- Video lessons for every 9th grade science topic
- Practice problems with step-by-step solutions
- Aligned to the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS)

How StudyPug Helps New York 9th Grade Science Students
When a student gets stuck on chemical bonding or cannot follow a genetics problem, StudyPug lets them rewatch a focused video lesson at their own pace, then try practice problems with immediate feedback. Step-by-step video solutions show exactly where reasoning went wrong, so the same mistake is less likely to happen on the next test.
The platform also supports parents who want to stay involved. Progress tracking shows which strands a student has practiced and where more work is needed, making it easier to plan study sessions around the New York State Science Learning Standards.
Aligned to New York 9th Grade Science Curriculum
Every lesson and practice problem on StudyPug is built around the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS), which organise content around disciplinary core ideas, science and engineering practices, and crosscutting concepts. That means what students study on StudyPug directly mirrors what they are responsible for in their New York classrooms.
