Science Word Search
This list is mostly the names of sciences. Twenty-one of them end in -ology, from entomology and mycology to paleontology and virology, and the rest is the equipment and vocabulary that goes with them: beaker, enzyme, proton, fossil. Free to print or play online.
The ending is Greek, logia, the study of a thing, and the first half tells you which thing. Mycology is fungi, ornithology is birds, lithology is rock, and phytology is plants - the older name for botany, which is also on the list. Gemology is gemstones, and it is one of the few here that is mainly a trade qualification rather than a university department.
Two pairs cause trouble every year. Entomology is insects, while etymology is where words come from. Metrology is the science of measurement and standards, while meteorology is the weather. Each pair looks almost identical on the page and the two halves have nothing to do with each other.
The free PDF suits a lesson starter. Online, a different set of fields comes up each round.
