Will this help with my child's 2nd grade science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers the physical science, life science, and earth and space science topics Ohio 2nd graders work on in class. Your child can find a lesson, watch it, and then try practice problems right away.

How long are the video lessons?

Most video lessons run between a few minutes and around ten minutes, so they fit easily into a homework session. Your child can pause, rewind, and rewatch any part of a lesson as many times as needed.

Is there an Ohio state science test for 2nd grade?

Ohio administers its state science assessment in grades 5 and 8, not in 2nd grade. StudyPug still helps build the foundational science skills your child needs for those later assessments.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and computers, so your child can access lessons and practice problems at home, in the car, or anywhere else they study.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see how the content works before committing. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee if you decide it is not the right fit.
