Science Crossword Puzzles: Make Practice Fun!

These science crossword puzzles can help you think about the meanings of a few key scientific terms in English.  They also highlight some of the connections between different scientific disciplines and their specialized vocabularies. 

Various Science Crossword Puzzles

Start with the Basics of Science Crossword. It looks at a small sample of the essential vocabulary from different categories of science.

(It also has includes definitions for some of those categories: biology, chemistry, etc. If you want to review them first, see the last part of the Science Vocabulary page.)

As with most crosswords on EnglisHints, you can print the PDF-- or just write the answers for each number, horizontal or vertical. Then check its answers here.

Then try some of the other science crosswords on EnglishHints— or look at a few pages discussing or practicing that vocabulary.

• Brain Research Crossword and Answers, 

• Language of Research Crossword and Answers, 

• Nervous System Vocabulary Crossword and Answers

• Language of Research #2 (a different puzzle with some of the same words as the one above; ) and Answers 

• Reducing Climate Change Crossword and Answers.

Other Science Vocabulary Practice

Scientific Method Vocabulary discusses the main steps in the scientific method: identifying a problem, forming a hypothesis, planning an experiment or other way to test it, keeping a record of the experiment and observations, and analyzing and reporting the results. The page also discusses key vocabulary involved.

Climate Change and Weather Vocabulary discusses weather and climate in detail and has a practice exercise.

The Research and Scientific Words Quiz mostly practices general academic vocabulary that is also important for understanding scientific research: words like formula, implication, outcomes, and principles. 

There are other related pages (practicing both science AND general academic terms) linked from the EnglishHints Sitemap Science Vocabulary section.

There is a lot more scientific vocabulary than I have been able to teach on EnglishHints, however. See the Thought Company Science section that goes into the specialized vocabulary of physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences that isn’t explained on EnglishHints.
