Careers that explore the world
Science is full of exciting careers, and this puzzle gathers them. You'll be finding the all-round SCIENTIST and the problem-solving ENGINEER, the CHEMIST who studies what things are made of, the PHYSICIST who studies forces and energy, and the ASTRONAUT who takes science all the way into space.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the grid, no two Science Jobs word searches are the same. One round a backwards MICROSCOPE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal RESEARCHER appears across the middle.
From the lab to the field
Every branch of science has its own experts, and the words are here. The BIOLOGIST and ZOOLOGIST study living things, the BOTANIST studies plants, the ECOLOGIST studies nature, and the GEOLOGIST studies rocks. There's the ASTRONOMER gazing at the stars, the MARINE scientist exploring the sea, and the INVENTOR and CODER building new tools. A RESEARCHER pores over DATA in the LAB, peering through a MICROSCOPE, running each EXPERIMENT in the hope of a great DISCOVERY — a true PIONEER, like the science DOCTOR before them.
It's a great fit for a jobs or science topic. Tracking down M-I-C-R-O-S-C-O-P-E turns spelling practice into a day in the lab.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
