Social Studies Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Social studies is not a discipline, it is a container. American schools assembled it around 1916 out of history, geography, civics and economics, with the stated aim of producing citizens rather than specialists. That is why a single lesson can jump from MIGRATION to ECONOMY to MAPPING without anyone objecting. This word find gathers eleven words from inside the container.

Frequently asked questions

How is geography different from social studies?

Geography is one of the subjects inside it. Social studies is the wrapper that also holds history, civics and economics, taught together rather than separately.

Why does a TIMELINE matter so much in this subject?

Because cause and effect only make sense in order. Putting events on a line is usually the first step before asking why one followed another.
