This file contains further ideas from William’s Words in Science ; page 3 has the fifty key words associated with the water cycle,pages 4 & 5 are coloured diagrams, suitable for Powerpoint;pages 6 & 7 are pupil versions of the coloured diagram on page 4;page 8 is a word search, with the solution on page 9;pages 10 & 11 are Sci Dokus (simple and tricky versions) with the solutions on page 12;page 13 is a paper loop game that produces a picture frame – see page 14 for the solution;page 15 Is a diy crossword – a method for getting every pupil to define at least 20 words!!

A major resource that should be in every room where Science is taught is William’s Words in Science – the JARGON BUSTER

William’s Words has been an invaluable asset in the lab [independent school teacher] It’s the best book I have bought this year [trainee-teacher from Northampton] I bought William’s Words last year -it’s brilliant - I use it all the time [two teachers at ASE 2011] This really is the book I have been waiting for as a KS2 and 3 teacher and as a tutor of Bachelor of Education(B Ed) students [JBE 43 3]

Your tasks

1. (The easy bit) Use the blank square to make a wordsearch containing as many words as possible from the list on the right (should be at least 20!)

2. (Bit tricky!!) Write a clue for each word that you have used!
