Bold Thoughts

In this worksheet, students read a short passage containing bolded technical terms and use context clues to match each term with its correct definition. The activity strengthens students’ ability to interpret academic and subject-specific vocabulary through meaningful context. By analyzing how each word functions within the passage, learners develop stronger comprehension and more precise understanding of technical language. This task supports close reading, inference skills, and vocabulary development, especially in science and technology contexts.
