Find these words
Thirteen words make this the broadest landscape puzzle here, spanning weather (WIND, RAIN, STORM, SUN), landforms and water (DESERT, LAKE, RIVER, OCEAN, FOREST, ROCK), and small living things (GRASS, LEAF, FLOWER). It's broad enough to touch nearly every biome a student might study in a school year, moving from DESERT to FOREST to OCEAN without ever using a term more technical than STORM. That range makes it more of a survey puzzle than a deep dive into any single habitat, which is useful when you want one activity that previews an entire unit.
An earth-science teacher opening a biome unit can use DESERT, FOREST, and OCEAN as three quick landmarks before students dig into any one of them in depth.
