Here you will find a complete list of French science terms. You’ll find the words for the different areas of subject including biology and chemistry as well as an extensive list of the “tools of the laboratory” (l’équipement de laboratoire) terms. While many of these words are almost the same in French as English some are totally different and therefore require some more time for study.
