Word Sorting Lab – Sound Blends

In this science-themed word sorting activity, students act as “Sound Scientists” to classify words into three categories based on their final blends: -nt, -nd, and -st. Learners sort words such as “plant,” “find,” and “past” into the correct test tubes labeled Tube A, B, and C. This engaging task promotes phonics mastery, spelling accuracy, and analytical thinking as students identify sound patterns in word endings. It combines literacy skills with a fun, thematic sorting challenge.
