Across
- 3. A 2D four-sided shape that has two equal length opposite sides and two bases that are different lengths but parallel.
- 5. A small insect that’s colored red with black and white spots. They eat leaves and small bugs called aphids.
- 8. The line segments that join one vertex to another, where a shape’s faces meet. They are found on 3D objects. Similar to the way 2D shapes are outlined with sides, these are what outline a 3D object.
- 9. A state of matter when something is fluid and not solid.
- 13. Green pieces of paper that vary in design and value. Another name for it would be a bill or cash.
- 15. A 3D object that has two circular bases and no edges, and similar to a cone, has one continuous face that wraps around one base and connects around the other. An example of one in real life would be a pipe, or a soda can.
- 18. A measurement of the space between two rays or line segments in a shape, essentially how open or spread the two lines are. They are measured in degrees.
- 22. A 3-sided shape. It looks like an arrowhead.
- 23. A 4-sided shape with straight and equal sides. Its shape is commonly seen in a kite.
- 24. A 2D six-sided shape with congruent sides.
- 26. A 3D object that has a circular base and 1 continuous face that wraps around the base and meets at a single point. It has no edges. An example of them in real life would be the pointy orange objects you see in traffic.
- 27. A 3D object with triangle faces and a square base. An example of one in real life would be an Ancient Wonder of the World, located in Egypt.
- 28. The third and last stage in the water cycle, when water/water vapor collects in clouds and comes down as rain, hail, snow, etc.
- 30. The second stage in the water cycle, when gas collects together and turns into a liquid.
- 32. A solid shape with 6 faces. It is a 3D object, and one example would be a box or a Rubix ___. Its faces are squares.
- 33. A flowering plant that monarch butterflies need for survival.
Down
- 1. An insect with a long narrow brightly colored body and two pairs of transparent wings. Some other names for them would be darners or skimmers.
- 2. A line segment that joins two points to form a 2D or 3D shape.
- 4. A 4-sided shape that has all equal, straight sides.
- 6. A kind of fly that sucks blood and spreads diseases like malaria. They give you bug bites.
- 7. A state of matter, when something is firm in shape.
- 10. The most common kind of insect. They usually have 6 legs, live outside, and are small. Examples would be the ladybug, the firefly, and the mealworm.
- 11. A closed shape with 1 continuous curved side.
- 12. A currency used for buying things.
- 14. A small insect that’s colored black and yellow, and can sometimes appear fluffy. They buzz, collect nectar from flowers, and can sting if you get too close to them.
- 16. A flat or curved surface on a 3D shape. They are only found on 3D shapes. For example, a cube has 6 of them.
- 17. The first stage in the water cycle, when water turns into water vapor and becomes a cloud.
- 19. A closed 2D drawing with sides. Examples would be squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, and more.
- 20. A fancy name for spiders.
- 21. Small, flat, pieces of metal that vary in size depending on value. Examples would be quarters, nickels, pennies, etc.
- 25. An 2D eight-sided shape with congruent sides.
- 27. A 2D five-sided shape with congruent sides.
- 29. A 4-sided shape. It has 4 straight sides and 4 right angles. It looks like a box.
- 30. The form a butterfly takes before it transforms into a butterfly through spinning its cocoon. They appear small and green, with yellow and orange spots, and can eat huge amounts of leaves.
- 31. An arachnid with 8 legs that crawls and spins webs. They catch small insects inside their webs and eat them.
