The power in the wires
Electricity powers almost everything we use, and this puzzle gathers how it works. You'll be finding the basics of a CIRCUIT — the BATTERY, the WIRE, the SWITCH and the BULB it lights — plus the flow itself, the CURRENT driven by VOLTAGE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the lab, no two electricity word searches are the same. One round a backwards RESISTANCE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal GENERATOR appears across the middle.
Charges, magnets and more
Electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same force, and the words are here. There's the CHARGE carried by each ELECTRON, the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE terminals, and materials that are a CONDUCTOR or an INSULATOR. Feel the STATIC and the SPARK, measure the POWER in AMPERE and the RESISTANCE in the wire, and watch a MAGNET pull a COMPASS needle at the TERMINAL.
It's a great fit for a science topic on energy and forces. Tracking down R-E-S-I-S-T-A-N-C-E turns spelling practice into a circuit.
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.
