    Drawing tips for science & space

    Draw the apparatus first: a flask with bubbles, a rocket with a flame, a planet with a ring. Processes are three-frame comic strips (an ice cube, a puddle, steam). For space words add a small Earth for scale; for lab words add the safety goggles.

    Who this category suits

    It is the category science teachers reach for on a Friday afternoon, and a strong hard round for adults who remember the periodic table. There are 104 easy words, 121 medium and 118 hard, so it works as a whole-game theme rather than a single round: set the difficulty from the menu above and the pool moves with the table. 6 of the words are grown-up references that only appear with the Adults audience; the rest are safe for everyone. A round idea: Lab round: every drawing must include a stick figure in a lab coat somewhere.

    Frequently asked questions

    What are good science & space Pictionary words?

    Easy ones first: planet, earth, mars, saturn, jupiter. Then medium: pipette, bunsen burner, microscope slide, specimen jar. And when the table is warmed up: hypothesis, the scientific method, chain reaction. The full list on this page has 343.

    How do you draw science in Pictionary?

    Draw the apparatus first: a flask with bubbles, a rocket with a flame, a planet with a ring. Processes are three-frame comic strips (an ice cube, a puddle, steam). For space words add a small Earth for scale; for lab words add the safety goggles.

    Are the science words safe for kids?

    Yes with the Kids or Everyone audience: 225 of the words are available to children, and the 6 grown-up references in this category (marked in the generator’s Adults audience) never appear for them.

    How many science words are there?

    343: 104 easy, 121 medium and 118 hard. The generator above draws from all of them and never repeats one within a session.

    Can I print this list?

    Yes. The printable page lays out any category as cut-out cards, or press Copy list under the generator after a game.
