OK, health teachers, maybe you can use this lesson plan on steroids and its work, this short reading and this vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. If you’d like a slightly longer version of the materials for this lesson, you can find them here.
If you find typos in these documents, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
If you can use it, here is a worksheet on the Latin roots radic and radix. They mean root. I imagine teachers in both mathematics and the hard sciences recognize these roots. They are at the base of terms of art in your domains such as radical as well as some big words related to neuropathic disease.

Even though I’ve posted it elsewhere on this website, I’ve not put it up as a standalone document, so here is a worksheet on the Greek root phobia. It means, of course, fear. This root is amazingly productive in the English language, which suggests that there is a very well-endowed fund of anxiety in the Western world.
As I probably say too often, this is another of those Greek roots students interested in working in healthcare–especially the professions related to mental health care–will need to know this root.

This reading on Tycho Brahe and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet have turned out, to my surprise, to be surprisingly high-interest materials for a certain kind of student I have served over the years. If you can persuade students that Brahe, like Galileo and Johannes Kepler, was in rebellion against the established authorities (church, but also, where they were closely aligned, state as well) of his time, well, what adolescent isn’t interested in acts of rebellion?

If it looks to you like I’m cleaning house at Mark’s Text Terminal, you’re right, I am. To that end, here is a lesson plan on function as a science word. You might find these definitions of function as as a verb and a noun helpful. Here is the the first worksheet for this lesson, and here is the second.
This work, as I’ve mentioned in the four other posts in which I’ve posted other lessons from this unit, was something I was tasked with producing several years ago to help struggling students build vocabulary in math and science. It was part of a very busy semester; I did not finish writing the final three lessons of this eight-lesson unit (it was for an eight-week, one meeting weekly seminar class), so this is the fifth of five lessons. As I review the material, it’s fairly obvious that I produced it on the fly, then never returned to improve it.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek root phot-o. It means, simply, light, and as you will perceive, this is a very productive root at the base of many English words. It’s very productive in the life and physical sciences, giving us words like photosynthesis and photon.

OK, health and science teachers, maybe this reading on immunity and its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet might find a place in your classroom.

It didn’t take long to get to Friday this week. Here is a worksheet on the Greek roots phon/o, -phone and -phony. They mean, as you have no doubt inferred, sound and voice. I’ll further assume that you realize this is a very productive root in English, with, if nothing else, the word telephone growing from it.

Science teachers, can you use this reading on Gregor Mendel and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet?

Here is a worksheet on the Greek roots phag and phage; they mean to eat. This is a word that shows up in words related to healthcare like esophagus. So, nota bene!
