Each week, usually on Friday, you will take a vocabulary quiz. We will start with list #1 and continue through the first half of the year. The list includes prefixes and suffixes that are commonly found in science-related words. The quiz may be given on Thursday or Monday if Friday is otherwise occupied with a test or lab.
