Scientific Method Word Search, Scramble and Crossword

Review fifteen scientific-method terms through three puzzle formats. The crossword and scramble use definition clues; the word search uses a vocabulary bank. Terms include hypothesis, variables, data and conclusion.

Each puzzle comes in a two-page PDF with a student page and an answer page, totaling six pages. The word-search solution highlights the words. Choose a puzzle after introducing the terms, then ask students to connect a word to a class investigation.
