1 Hello, Welcome to Considering God s Creation Science Definitions Notebooking Pages. I created these pages to be used in our homeschool study of the wonderful science curriculum, Considering God s Creation, by Susan Mortimer and Betty Smith, published by Eagle s Wings Educational. Each page coincides with a lesson from the study and includes the Vocabulary words being taught, as well as their etymology (word origin). For most scientific terms, the etymology is Greek or Latin. Occasionally, you will find that a word is derived from Old English, Modern English, French or Russian. In studying the word s roots along with the definition, your students will learn that many roots are often repeated in the world of science. Becoming familiar with these roots will help them improve their reading comprehension, and they will soon be able to understand the meaning of new terms that they encounter simply because they have learned the Greek or Latin Roots. For more help with these invaluable word roots, see my Greek and Latin Roots Vol. 1 & 2 Notebooking Pages sets or my Latin Phrases and Mottoes set. How to use these pages: 1. If you are using the Considering God s Creation curriculum by Mortimer and Smith, simply print out the science definitions page for the current lesson. As you teach, have your students fill in the new vocabulary term on the line next to its definition. Related pictures have been placed near each definition to help the students better understand the word meaning. Point out the word s etymology listed under the definition so that they will learn the (usually) Greek or Latin roots. 2. If you are using these pages on their own or to supplement another science study, a table of the vocabulary words for each lesson is provided on the next page. You may dictate these words to your students to fill in on their notebooking pages, or have them search for the correct words in a reference book or on the internet. Enjoy your studies of all of God s creation, September West, author 4R Press Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
