Science Word Searches
Science and nature puzzles for curious minds and science classes: space, planets, weather, the ocean, energy, the chemical elements, the rainforest, flowers and Earth Day, plus a general science list of lab and field words.
The vocabulary is where a word search earns its place in a science lesson. Finding PALEONTOLOGY or ANEMOMETER letter by letter makes a student look at how the word is spelled, which is the part they tend to get wrong on a test. The facts behind the words are worth a detour too: a day on Venus lasts longer than its year, because the planet turns so slowly that it goes round the Sun before it finishes one spin.

Every puzzle prints in three levels: easy hides 5 words in a 10 by 10 grid, reading only across and down; medium hides 15 in a 12 by 12 grid; hard hides up to 23 in a 15 by 15 grid. Each print is a fresh draw from the topic's word list, and every sheet comes with an answer key. The same puzzles play online, on your own or against a friend in real time.
