Wanted to use this as a filler activity for a summer camp I was teaching. Tried to make an answer key for myself to help me help the kids find the words. Is there an answer key for this? I cannot find the following words no matter how I scour the page: ocean, gills, wings, alive and abdomen. Are they there or were they mistakenly missed? Help!
It looks like a couple of rows got cut off. I regenerated the puzzle and uploaded a new copy. Try downloading it again. I printed it out from the new one I uploaded and my junior scientists here at home tried it out and said they found them all.
