📖 Let’s Learn Science Words!
Science is the study of the world around us — how things work, why things happen, and what things are made of. Every scientist uses special vocabulary to describe their discoveries!
Learning science words helps you understand your EVS/Science textbook, ask smart questions, and describe how the world works. These words connect English to what you learn in Science class!
💡 The Rule
Science words describe things in nature (planet, seed, leaf), forces and energy (gravity, magnet, solar), and processes (evaporation, germination, photosynthesis). Group them by topic!
🎯 Key Concept
🪐 Planet = a large body orbiting a star
🧲 Magnet = attracts iron and steel
🌱 Germination = when a seed starts growing
💧 Evaporation = water turning into vapour
📋 Science Word Categories
Planet, star, moon, orbit, solar system
Solar, heat, light, sound, electricity
Gravity, magnet, friction, push, pull
Seed, root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
Skeleton, muscle, organ, brain, heart

Earth is a planet that orbits the Sun.
Gravity is the force that pulls everything down.
A magnet can attract objects made of iron.
Roots absorb water and the stem carries it to the leaves.
Evaporation turns water into vapour, forming clouds.
Solar energy from the Sun can make electricity.
Memory Trick
Remember the Water Cycle: Evaporation (water → vapour) → Condensation (vapour → clouds) → Precipitation (clouds → rain). E-C-P! Up, form, fall!

The word “science” comes from the Latin word “scientia” meaning “knowledge”. A scientist is simply a person who seeks knowledge!
🧠 Tips for Parents
Kitchen Science
Do simple experiments at home: magnet test (what sticks?), germination (grow a bean in cotton). Hands-on learning!
Stargazing
Look at the night sky together. Point out the Moon, planets, and stars. Connect to vocabulary: orbit, gravity, solar system.
