Description
Class Experience
Mastering the language of Science is essential to understanding and describing the world that surrounds us. In this four-week class, we will look at the key Latin and Greek roots used in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through a linguistic look at the nomenclature used in Paleontology, Chemistry, Anatomy and Astronomy. No previous knowledge of Latin or Greek is required, and students will receive help creating a glossary and transliterations of all words for future...
Students will learn how to decode and manipulate scientific vocabulary. Students will also learn about the history of key root words used in science.
I have a degree in Classical Philology, qualified teaching status and over 15 years' experience teaching students from all across the globe.
Students will be expected to revise the new words learnt after every session.
Learners will need to print out a copy of the glossaries and classroom worksheets. They will need different coloured pens and paper.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
