Understanding the terms used in science is important in order to
succeed in science - students at all levels need to quickly
recognize terminology in order to do well in the lab, on tests, and
in the real world of the working scientist. But this terminology
can be confusing because so much of it consists of combinations of
roots, prefixes, and suffixes from other languages, primarily Latin
and Greek, and students are often required to waste precious class
time in rote memorization. Science Terms Made Easy is a dictionary
of several thousand common science terms that are broken down into
their component parts. Students using the work will soon learn the
meaning of common suffixes, prefixes and roots, and they will begin
to quickly understand the meaning of scientific terminology without
resorting to memorization or frequently referring to standard
dictionaries. Instead of being overly concerned with precise
definitions, Science Terms Made Easy offers simple working
definitions that enables students to quickly construct the meanings
of these terms. Each entry includes: The language of origin of the
word The meaning of the prefixes and suffixes in the word The
definition of the root of the word BLAnd a working definition of
the term, in some cases including a sample sentence. Science Terms
Made Easy both saves time by avoiding rote memorization and
encourages students to use their analytical skills to figure out
meanings.
