Will this help with my child's 1st grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the same physical science, life science, and earth and space science topics Ohio 1st graders work on in class, so your child can find help for specific homework questions right when they need it.

How are the science lessons delivered on StudyPug?

Each topic is broken into short, focused video lessons with step-by-step explanations, followed by practice problems so your child can check their understanding right after learning a new concept.

Is there a state science test for 1st grade in Ohio?

Ohio's State Tests for science are administered at specific grade levels, not in 1st grade. Your child will encounter assessed science checkpoints in later grades, but 1st grade builds the foundational knowledge they will need.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, laptops, and desktop computers, so your 1st grader can access their science lessons at home, on the go, or wherever it is most convenient.
