About this word search

Robert Hooke looked at a thin slice of cork through his Microscope in the 1660s and saw rows of tiny chambers. He called them cells, and the word has stayed with biology ever since.

This list moves from particles to big ideas, with an Electron, a Proton and an Atom at one end and Evolution and Energy at the other. In between are the habits of the laboratory, a Hypothesis to test, an Experiment to run and a Test tube to hold it.

HYPOTHESIS and MICROSCOPE are ten letters each and good to start with. Cell, Heat and Atom are four letters and take more patience. Everything reads forwards, never backwards.

Ways to use this word search

  • With your coffee

    Print a sheet for a quiet moment at the kitchen table or in your armchair. Start with the regular version and save the hard one for when you really have time for it.

  • On the go

    Slip a few printed sheets into your bag for the train, a waiting room or a weekend away. A pen is all you need, no screen required.

  • Puzzle together

    Bring the sheet to your book club, a night in with friends or a visit to your parents and see who finds every word first. Or play online and find out who is fastest.
