Must-Know Science Vocabulary: Color by Code
$3.50
Packet contains 48 important Science Vocabulary Terms for the GED Science Test.
Students use these GED Science terms to fill in the missing words on their color-by-definition worksheets.
8 Color-by-Definition worksheets included.
Students use whole-brain learning to memorize the GED Science terms. This type of learning is especially helpful for those with learning disabilities, students who learn best with hands-on or visual exercises, and learners with ADHD. However, all students are sure to have fun with this non-traditional way of studying for the GED.

GED Science Vocabulary Practice: Cryptograms
$7.75
47 Cryptogram puzzles on important GED Science vocabulary. GED students use critical thinking skills along with their GED science knowledge to solve these challenges. Great for GED Bell Ringers or GED homework. Can also be used as a timed competitive challenge for your GED students.
There are many benefits to using cryptograms with GED students:
1. Language and Literacy Skills
- Cryptograms help improve vocabulary and language comprehension by requiring careful analysis of word patterns and letter frequencies
- They encourage close reading and critical examination of text, as solvers must look at words and letters from multiple perspectives
- Students learn to recognize common letter combinations, word structures, and linguistic patterns
2. Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
- Solving cryptograms develops analytical reasoning skills
- Puzzlers must use deductive reasoning, pattern recognition, and strategic thinking
- The process involves hypothesis testing, where solvers develop theories about letter substitutions and test them systematically
- These skills translate well to mathematical and scientific problem-solving approaches
3. Cognitive Development
- Cryptograms exercise multiple cognitive functions simultaneously
- They enhance memory by requiring solvers to track potential letter replacements
- Improve mental flexibility as individuals must shift between different problem-solving strategies
- Stimulate neuroplasticity through engaging, complex mental challenges
The following GED Science terms used (one cryptogram for each term):
Bonus: 3 word search puzzles utilizing these same words help GED students practice their skimming and scanning skills in preparation for the GED test.
