Aa is for acid.

A chemical substance that neutralizes alkalis, dissolves 

some metals, and turns litmus red; typically, a corrosive or 

sour-tasting liquid of this kind.

A substance with a sour taste.

Bb is for battery.

A container consisting of one or more cells, in which 

chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a 

source of power.

the act of battering, beating, or pounding

Cc is for crystals.

A piece of a homogeneous solid substance having a natural 

geometrically regular form with symmetrically arranged 

plane faces.

highly transparent glass with a high refractive index

Dd is for distance.

An amount of space between two things or 

people.

make (someone or something) far off or remote 

in position or nature

Ee is for electron.

A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative 

electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary 

carrier of electricity in solids.

Electricity. a unit of charge equal to the charge on one 

electron.

Ff is for fluid.                                   A 

substance that has no fixed shape and yields 

easily to external pressure; a gas or 

(especially) a liquid.

(of a substance) able to flow easily.

Gg is for gas. 

An air-like fluid substance which expands 

freely to fill any space available, irrespective 

of its quantity.

A gaseous substance that cannot be liquefied 

by the application of pressure alone.

Hh is for heat.

The quality of being hot; high temperature.

make or become hot or warm.

Ii is for ion.

An atom or molecule with a net electric 

charge due to the loss or gain of one or more 

electrons.

one of the electrically charged particles 

formed in a gas by electric discharge or the 

like.

Jj is for joule.

The SI unit of work or energy, equal to the 

work done by a force of one newton when its 

point of application moves one meter in the 

direction of action of the force, equivalent to 

one 3600th of a watt-hour.

Kk is for kinetic energy.

Energy that a body possesses by virtue of 

being in motion.

The energy of a body or a system with respect 

to the motion of the body or of the particles in 

the system.

Ll is for lift.

Lift is the force that directly opposes the 

weight of an airplane and holds the airplane in 

the air.

Lift is a mechanical aerodynamic force 

produced by the motion of the airplane 

through the air.

Mm is for metals.

A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, 

fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal 

conductivity (e.g., iron, gold, silver, copper, and 

aluminum, and alloys such as brass and steel).

Nn is for newton.

The SI unit of force. It is equal to the force 

that would give a mass of one kilogram an 

acceleration of one meter per second per 

second, and is equivalent to 100,000 dynes.

Oo is for observation.

The action or process of observing something 

or someone carefully or in order to gain 

information.

Pp is for pulley.

a wheel with a grooved rim around which a 

cord passes. It acts to change the direction of 

a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used 

(typically in combination) to raise heavy 

weights.

Qq is for quark.                                                          

Any of a number of subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge, 

postulated as building blocks of the hadrons. Quarks have not been directly 

observe,but theoretical predictions based on their existence have been 

confirmed experimentally.

Rr is for radioation.

The emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as 

moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy 

particles that cause ionization.

Ss is for science.

The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the 

systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical 

and natural world through observation and experiment.

Tt is for temperature.

The degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, 

especially as expressed according to a comparative scale and 

shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.

Uu is for unsaturated solution.

Of or relating to a solution in which the solvent is 

capable of dissolving still more of the solute; not 

saturated.

Vv is for volume.

The amount of space that a substance or object 

occupies, or that is enclosed within a container.
