Today in science students finished their multiple intelligences noteguide. We briefly discussed each of the 9 intelligences before students turned in this assignment. The class then began an activity where they investigated the etymology of words used in science. EXAMPLE: Hippopotamus is derived from the prefix hippo (horse like) and suffix potamus (river). This translates into the naming of the hippo as a river horse. We will continue this activity tomorrow during class.
