OK, finally for today, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root ocul. It means, you will all but certainly be unsurprised to hear, eye. This is a very productive root in English, and is at the basis of words students really must know.

Here is a word root worksheet on the Greek roots tom,-tome,-tomy,-stomy. They mean, oddly, to cut. There are a lot of commonly used words from educated discourse that grow from this productive root–think, for example, of surgeries like hysterectomy, thyroidectomy, and tonsillectomy.
This is another of those words students aspiring to careers in the healthcare professions ought to know.

Here is a reading on Hippocrates and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. I assume I don’t need to explain why now might be a good time to read about the father of modern medicine and the historical embodiment of why politicians and half-wit journalists should not pronounce on medical issues like, oh let’s say chloroquine as a treatment for COVID19.

Alright, moving right along, here is a lesson plan on the Latin word root circum; it means around. It is, as this worksheet that is the mainstay of the lesson fairly quickly exposes, a very productive root in English. Moreover, these are words that are in very heavy use in educated discourse in this country, which is why your student or child should know them as well as the root at the base of them.
I open this lesson with the context clues on the adverb and adjective abroad. It is a conceptual antonym to words formed from circum-, and to the extent possible, the worksheet itself aims to hint at these words and their meanings–as well as the idea of an antonym.
That’s it for today. I hope you are at home and safe, and all young minds are engaged, wherever you are.
Godspeed.

OK, folks, here is the last post for today, a lesson plan on Watson, Crick, and DNA. The work of this lesson is simply this short reading and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. I wrote this lesson last fall for the Personal Development class the school in which I served required its students to take. I wanted the material, and its presentation, to arouse the big essential question, “Is biology destiny?”
However, if you’re more interested in teaching this material as a science lesson, here is a slightly longer version of the reading and worksheet. If you want to amplify this lesson, especially for girls interested in science, the reading does mention Rosalind Franklin, whose story is a cautionary tale by any standard I recognize.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word root zyg/o. It means pair. It forms the basis of the noun zygote, among many other scientific words. This is yet another word students should know if they are interested in a career in the healthcare professions.
