A biologist discovers a new species of plant in the Amazon rainforest. Following established scientific naming conventions, which language would be most appropriate to use when assigning the plant its official scientific name?
A biologist discovers a new species of plant in the Amazon rainforest. Following established scientific naming conventions, which language would be most appropriate to use when assigning the plant its official scientific name?
- Spanish, to reflect the region where the plant was discovered.
- Greek, due to its usage in describing detailed physiological processes.
- Latin, aiming for universality and historical precedence in scientific nomenclature. (correct)
- English, because it is the current standard for scientific publications.
A student is struggling to understand the term ' কার্ডিওভাস্কুলার.' Applying the principles of morphemic analysis, what strategy would be MOST effective for them to decipher its meaning?
A student is struggling to understand the term ' কার্ডিওভাস্কুলার.' Applying the principles of morphemic analysis, what strategy would be MOST effective for them to decipher its meaning?
- Ignoring the word's structure and looking up the complete definition in a dictionary.
- Breaking the term into its component parts ('cardio-' and 'vascular') and understanding each part separately. (correct)
- Assuming that the term is related to other words they already know that start with 'card-.'
- Memorizing the term as a whole, focusing on its pronunciation and spelling.
A student who learns best by creating diagrams, charts, and mind maps to represent information is demonstrating a preference for which learning style?
A student who learns best by creating diagrams, charts, and mind maps to represent information is demonstrating a preference for which learning style?
- Holistic learning, as they are connecting new information to previously learned knowledge.
- Visual learning, as they are using visual aids to organize and understand concepts. (correct)
- Auditory learning, as they are processing information in a sequential, linear manner.
- Kinesthetic learning, as they are physically engaging with the learning material.
When learning about the water cycle, a student recalls their prior knowledge of evaporation from seeing a puddle dry on a sunny day and connects it to the concept of water turning into vapor. Which learning approach is the student using?

A researcher is investigating the effects of a new drug on blood pressure. They decide to first study each component of the drug separately and then analyze how they interact. This approach to understanding the drug's effects aligns with which learning style?

Study Notes
- The lesson focuses on science terms.
- Most scientific vocabulary comes from Greek and Latin.
- Greek is used because most of the first scientists and researchers were Greek.
- Latin is often used in the naming of organisms since it is universal.
- Scientific terminology can be broken down into smaller parts to gain a better understanding of the material.
- Word parts discussed include prefixes, roots of words, and suffixes.
- Morphemes were also discussed.
- The primary unit of a word is called the root.
- The word part before the root is the prefix.
- The word part appearing only after the root is the suffix.
Learning Styles
- Auditory learning occurs when students learn by hearing.
- Visual learning occurs via sight through pictures and charts.
- Hands-on learning occurs when new information is best understood in practice.
- Learning can occur though a combination of two or all three learning styles.
Learning Approaches
- Holistic learning uses old information that was already learned to better understand new ideas.
- The analytic learning approach breaks concepts into smaller sections, or subdivided parts for the individual to process new information.
