Crossword Puzzles

My friend and I are doing a presentation this semester for our EXPS 220 course. We have to do a PowerPoint presentation on Astronomy. The professor picked out four scientists/astronomers she wanted us to focus on. She also would like us to have an activity to do after our presentation. She wants it to be fun but also tie in to what we are teaching the class. She talked about some past activities other of her students had done. Some examples were bingo and labeling. I thought about doing bingo but figured it would be too much work to make the bingo boards. They all have to be different of course. 

Instead we both agreed on creating a crossword puzzle. This would help incorporate some key words and clues as well. I typed crossword puzzle maker in the google search engine and a variety of sites came up. The one that popped the most was the teachers corner. It was supper easy, we chose 2 key words from each of the scientists followed by some clues. All I had to do on the site was type in my words in the words column and my clues in the clues column, and add a title. I clicked "Make crossword puzzle" and it did the work for me. I had the options of customizing my puzzle as well. It is a really neat way of creating a fast, easy, and fun activity for anyone to do!
