Physics Word Search

Physics studies matter, energy, force, and motion, covering everything from a rolling ball to the light of a distant star. Its vocabulary shows up in science class long before the math does.

Words in the Physics word search

Every word used across the three levels, with a quick note on what it means.

force
A push or a pull that can change an object's motion.
energy
What an object needs in order to do work.
motion
Any change in an object's position over time.
speed
How far something travels in a certain amount of time.
gravity
The force that pulls objects toward Earth and other masses.
light
Energy we can see, traveling as waves through space.
sound
Energy we hear, carried by vibrations through air or water.
heat
Energy that moves from warmer objects to cooler ones.
mass
How much matter an object contains, measured in grams.
magnet
An object that attracts iron and creates a magnetic field.
friction
A force that slows things sliding across a surface.
pressure
Force spread over an area, like air inside a tire.
velocity
Speed in a stated direction, such as ten meters north.
momentum
Mass times velocity, so heavy fast objects are hard to stop.
inertia
Objects keep doing what they are doing until a force acts.
density
How much mass is packed into a given volume.
wave
A traveling disturbance that carries energy from place to place.
atom
The tiny building block that all matter is made from.
electron
A negatively charged particle found around an atom's nucleus.
voltage
The push that moves electric charge through a circuit.
