Lab #2 – Medical Terminology/Word Game

Ø Students should separate into groups of 3-4 persons per group

Ø Each group will receive a plastic bag with several prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

Ø The goal is to put these together to form a word but you must also define each part:

Ø Example: hypo = below chondro = cartilage iac = pertaining to

Whole word = Hypochondriac

Ø This activity will count as your first quiz grade

READ CAREFULLY THESE ARE THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE GAME

Use the word list handout and your texts as resources.

1. Each bag has four words that should be pieced together

2. Each word part can be used only once.

3. Not all words you form will have prefixes and suffixes, but some will.

4. Each group should define the prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

5. Form the words and write them down on a sheet of paper with your names and the group # on the bag.

6. Please turn the list of words along with each group member into me at the end of lab.

7. Use the word handout and your texts as resources.

Once everyone completes the word game select a representative to write the word and its meaning on the board.

These words will be used in the first exam.
