7th Grade Vocab Word List Week 8: The Roots –Bio- and –VitThe English language is filled with words that have something to do with life. The roots –bio- and –vit- both come from words meaning “life.” The root –bio- comes from the Greek word bios, and the root –vit- comes from the Latin word vita. The words biology and vitamin are derived from these roots. Biology is the study of living things, and vitamins are organic compounds necessary for maintaining normal life functions. In this lesson, you will learn other words that are related to life.

My name is Dr. Abraham Erskine, and I am the German scientist who invented the super soldier serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America. I’m afraid that I have run out of ideas; I need your help to get my research back up and running. I would like you to submit a proposal for an experimental medical procedure. No idea is too crazy. In your proposal, use five of this week’s words. Write at least 5 unique, complete sentences – one sentence per vocab word you choose – using the word correctly (part of speech and definition). Always use the words from the far left column – NEVER THE “RELATED” WORDS. Sentences should be more than just the word and the definition. Sentences should be unique (different from every other sentence on the page, written by you and you alone). Sentences should be written neatly. The paper should have a heading and should be neat (no folds, tears, etc.). Underline the vocab words (or circle, highlight, etc. – just call my attention to the word). Skip a line after every line you’ve written (think of it as double-spacing the whole page). This is in paragraph form.
