Science Words

Science vocabulary is the bridge between noticing something and understanding it. Words like "hypothesis," "variable," "catalyst," and "entropy" aren't just jargon — they name concepts that let you think more precisely about how the world works. This collection spans the general terms that show up across physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science, rather than belonging to any one discipline.
