Etymology Display

A few weeks ago I saw this word-origin display on Twitter and it reminded me of something that’s been on my to-do list for about 2 years.

Armed with a marker pen and a Reece Witherspoon film I wrote out lots of prefixes and suffixes to common Biological words.

I was going to put them up in my lab today but my Year 11s have taken over the project and want to hang them off an actual tree instead. Alice is bringing in an old artificial Christmas tree from her loft…!

Update:

I finally got around to putting this up today:

Please note – although I am offering this for free, it doesn’t mean it’s ok to sell them yourself! Don’t make me grumpy 🙂
