Term Builder

Students write clear definitions for Antarctic vocabulary such as iceberg, tundra, crevasse, and permafrost. Each term relates to the geography or climate of the frozen continent. The worksheet encourages students to use their knowledge rather than a word bank. It reinforces scientific literacy through precise description.

Writing definitions promotes deep vocabulary understanding by requiring students to restate concepts in their own words. This exercise builds academic language precision, a key skill in science and geography. It strengthens students’ ability to generalize and apply new terms during discussions and writing tasks. These skills support success across content-area subjects.
