A vocabulary crossword gives a short definition for each word, and the child writes the word in the numbered Across or Down boxes, so a word can only be placed by knowing what it means. These vocabulary crosswords for 5th grade hold 4 sheets, each with an answer key and a 10 word bank. Three puzzles practice subject words: solar system words like galaxy, asteroid and gravity, American Revolution words like patriot, loyalist and boycott, and matter words like vapor, dissolve and property (CCSS L.5.6). The fourth gives an antonym as every clue, so temporary leads to permanent and defeat leads to victory (CCSS L.5.5.C).
