Build the Word
A long word is a short word you have not taken apart yet. Every piece already means something on its own.
No score is kept. No points, no streak, no ranking — the only number anyone writes down is the one your teacher writes down, standing next to you.
Show me one first
This one is nobody's word — it is only here to show the moves before you touch yours. Watching it costs nothing and is written down nowhere.
Now word 1 is yours. The hint button is there the whole time, and using it is part of the lesson.
- 1photosynthesis break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 2chlorophyll break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 3chloroplasts break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 4glucose break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 5molecule break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 6essential break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 7resources break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
- 8opposite break it into its pieces, then write what each piece means
There is no right answer here. It only tells your teacher where to start next time.
Eight words, taken apart.
Chloro is green and phyll is leaf, so chlorophyll is green leaf. You now own two pieces that will turn up in words nobody has taught you yet.
For the teacher — this device only
One probe row, built from what happened on this screen. Nothing is sent anywhere — copy it into the Goal Builder yourself, or print this page. Independent means answered with no hints; supported means answered after a hint. Both are real evidence and neither is a grade.

Words 1–5 are this unit's science words; 6–8 are the borrowed words, which have pieces too. Set 2 and Set 3 are the same eight jobs on different words from the same list. This activity cannot be rebuilt from a pasted word list — it needs each word's own pieces — and it says so on screen rather than running half of itself.
To run this on your own word list, open the Science Vocabulary page and paste it there. It is stored on this computer only, and every activity that can honestly run it will pick it up. One that cannot will say so and keep this unit's words.
