Plant Experiments Word Scramble - Hands-On Science Fun!

I created this word scramble worksheet for my 4th grade classroom during our plant unit last spring. It's a straightforward 2-page PDF with 24 scrambled plant science terms that students actually use during experiments - words like "roots," "sprout," and "chlorophyll."

The words range from easy ("leaf") to challenging ("photosynthesis") to keep all my students engaged. I printed them on green paper to match our plant theme, and the kids worked on them while waiting for their bean seeds to germinate.

You'll find:
• Page 1: The scramble activity with clear, kid-friendly font
• Page 2: A simple answer key for quick checking

I use this when:

• Introducing our plant unit

• Needing a meaningful time-filler

• Preparing for our greenhouse field trip

The words reflect real classroom experiments - "measure," "grow," "data" - not just textbook terms. Last year, my students got especially excited unscrambling "magnifying" right before we examined leaves up close.

Format: Basic PDF (2 pages)
Tip: Have students circle three words they want to use in their lab notes!
