Will this help with my child's Kindergarten science homework?

Yes. StudyPug covers every Washington Kindergarten science strand - scientific inquiry, basic needs, life cycles, weather, and more - so your child can find the exact topic they need and work through it at their own pace.

How long are the video lessons for Kindergarten science?

Most Kindergarten science video lessons run between three and eight minutes, keeping them short enough to hold a young learner's attention while covering one focused concept at a time.

Is there a Washington state science test for Kindergarten?

Washington state science assessments are administered in Grades 5, 8, and high school through the WCAS. Kindergarten is not a tested year, so there is no state science exam at this grade level.

Can my child use StudyPug on a tablet or phone?

Yes. StudyPug works on tablets, phones, and desktop computers, so your Kindergartener can access science lessons and practice questions at home, on the go, or anywhere with an internet connection.

Can I try StudyPug before paying?

Yes. StudyPug offers free sample lessons so you can see exactly what your child will experience before subscribing. Every plan also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
