About this word search
Marie Curie is the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two different sciences, physics and chemistry, and here she keeps company with Newton, Darwin and Faraday.
The list also takes in the tools of the lab, the Bunsen burner, the Pipette and the Petri dish, which many people remember from high school science. Relativity and Quantum stand for the ideas that changed physics in the twentieth century.
All eight directions are used, so some words read backwards. Periodic table and Photosynthesis are the longest runs. DNA is only three letters and easy to miss, and the Q in Quantum is a quick way in.
