Always learn a word with its collocation (the words that go with it) and one example sentence. Then use it in your own practice writing until it feels natural.
IELTS Vocabulary: Science & Research
Use these high-frequency science & research words with their natural collocations. Learn each word with its example so you use it accurately — accuracy scores higher than rare “big words”.
| Word / phrase | Common collocation | Example sentence |
|---|---|---|
| breakthrough | a scientific breakthrough | The vaccine was a major breakthrough. |
| conduct research | conduct research into | They conduct research into clean energy. |
| hypothesis | test a hypothesis | Experiments are designed to test a hypothesis. |
| findings | publish the findings | The team published their findings. |
| funding | secure funding for | The lab secured funding for the project. |
| innovation | drive innovation | Competition drives innovation. |
Accurate every time. One misused “advanced” word hurts your Lexical Resource score more than a simple word used correctly.
