Physical Science Word Search
This puzzle covers a year of physical science: matter and energy, force and motion, mass, volume and density, physical change and chemical change, the six simple machines, and the steps of an experiment, from hypothesis and variable to conclusion.
Physical science studies nonliving matter and energy, with chemistry and physics taught together. The six classic simple machines are the lever, the pulley, the wedge, the screw, the inclined plane, and the wheel and axle. Archimedes worked out the law of the lever in the third century BC and is said to have claimed that with a place to stand, he could move the Earth.
Melting ice is a physical change, since it is still water; burning wood is a chemical change, since ash and smoke are new substances. The metric system was created in France in the 1790s, with the meter set at one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator, and the gram at the mass of a cubic centimeter of water. Buoyancy is Archimedes again: an object in water is pushed up by a force equal to the weight of the water it moves aside.
