I ran across this cool little program while attempting to make a “word wall” of vocabulary words for my students.  The easy nature of the program and endless possibilities for changing the colors, words, etc. kept it on my radar.  Best of all, it fits within my price range… FREE!

Below is a picture I made from Chapter 29 of the Classic Science:  Life Science textbook (http://eequalsmcq.com/LS%20Student29.pdf)

The larger the word, the more frequently you see it within the text that is provided.  Cool, huh?

Have fun with this fun way of incorporating a word wall within your studies of science.  Feel free to send me some of the pics you create!  I would love to place them on my site!
