This class is taught by Kim Sloan with 11 years of experience teaching science. A general knowledge of prefixes and suffixes can help you understand scientific vocabulary and can be helpful during standardized tests. This class will provide an introduction to common prefixes and suffixes that may be found in life science courses. By familiarizing yourself with these common prefixes and suffixes, you can make learning new terms easier. During this class, you will use a list of common prefixes and suffixes to determine the meaning of scientific vocabulary. For example, "bio-" means "life" and "-ology" means "study," so "biology" is the study of life. Then, you will take on the role of a nomenclature specialist and create names for newly created creatures using your understanding of prefixes and suffixes. You will practice your understanding using a quizlet review. Here are some common prefixes and suffixes that you will learn in this class: * Prefix Meaning -bio- life -logy study of -cyte cell -morph form -ology study of -ism condition or state of -ous having the nature of -phy plant -plasm living matter -some body -troph nourishment
Learning Goals
Students will build an understanding of common prefixes and suffixes necessary for life science courses.

I am Kimberly. I graduated summa cum laude from Athens State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology (Licensure and Certification) and I have been teaching ever since. I taught biology, environmental science, and forensics at Athens High School for 11 years. During COVID, I also taught physical science, chemistry, and Earth science. I have a passion for teaching science and I truly enjoy working with teenagers.
As a high school student, I was afforded the opportunity to be a member of the inaugural class of the Alabama School of Math and Science. My love for science was fostered by the excellent teachers who encouraged me to think "outside the box" and instilled a love for learning. It is my goal to be that kind of teacher for my students and I am always looking for new opportunities to help me accomplish that goal.
On a personal note, I enjoy hiking and camping. I have backpacked the Grand Canyon from rim to rim and spent 5 days trekking through the backcountry of Yellowstone. Being in nature is my happy place!Reviews
