Description

The ability to do work.
Energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
Can be used to move charged particles through a wire from a power plant to our homes and businesses.
A fluid's internal resistance to flow and may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction.
The ability of a substance, usually a metal, to be deformed or molded into a different shape.
A solid material's ability to deform under tensile stress; this is often characterized by the material's ability to be stretched into a wire.
The tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.
A chemical process where a solid turns into a gas without going through a liquid stage.
The process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure.
The energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system
The average energy of motion of particles in a substance.
The movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.
A form of energy arising from the random motion of the molecules of bodies, which may be transferred by conduction, convection, or radiation.
A way of measuring how quickly something is moving or being done, or something moving fast.
A physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it.

A substance or device that does not readily conduct electricity.
An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.
The rate of change of velocity per unit of time.
A complete and closed path around which a circulating electric current can flow.
Two or more forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size.
Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.
A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.
The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
A plane inclined at an angle to the horizontal.
A simple machine consisting of a bar that pivots on a fixed support, or fulcrum, and is used to transmit torque.
A continuous change in the position of an object.
The resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another.
The sum of all the forces acting on an object.
The force on an object on a circular path that keeps the object moving on the path

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.
