Word of the Day

This week we are starting an new entry task assignment that you will complete at the start of the period every day.  You will be given a list of latin and greek roots and phrases to put in your notebook.  Every day I will post a new science term that you will need to define.

How the assignment works:

1.  Write the word
2.  Break the word down into its component pieces with definitions from your list.
3.  Write a definition that you think fits the word.  This can be based on your knowledge of the word or inferred from the pieces you get from your worksheet.

example:

-Hypothesis
       Hypo - Under
       thesis - an arrangement
A scientific prediction that can be tested or A way of organizing information to make a scientific prediction.  

Note:  You are not being graded on whether your definition is correct.  Merely if it works within the context you establish.
