Do you have the original crossword puzzle? It seems like it would be a great educational tool (or a test bonus) to implement into the classroom. Is it one that you developed or did you find it? I remember when I was a kid, my teacher used to make up ones herself. Maybe I should do the same thing.

Sciency. . . why did I say that? If someone wrote it in an essay for me to grade, I would fail them! Gotta follow my own advice.
