Critical Thinking Company: Science Vocabulary Crossword Puzzles

This 65-page activity book improves students' comprehension of science through a better understanding of the foundation of science -- science vocabulary. These 25 science crossword puzzles were designed to reinforce science vocabulary and motivate students to study science. The crossword puzzles are organized by topics. Each crossword puzzle has an answer choice box. Some students will know the answers, but will struggle with the spelling of words. The choice box eliminates this problem. When students don’t know the meaning of word in a clue or in the choice box, they can look up the word in a dictionary or an encyclopedia. They could use reference books or reference material online. Many libraries provide dictionaries and encyclopedias on their websites that can be accessed at home. The crossword puzzles are a fun way to expand science vocabulary, improve reference skills, and encourage interest in science.
