Read the article and answer the questions that follow.

Importance of Science and Technology

Science and technology are words that go hand in hand in the modern world.
Technology helps us understand the discoveries of science.

Modern science and technology are the world we live in today. Thus, new
inventions and discoveries are made each day. The importance of science and
technology is discussed below:

Diverse transportation. Science and technology have led to the multiple means
of transport in the world today. It has eased the problem of getting from one point to
another.

Large scale production. It is through science and technology that we have things
such as machines. They have helped to ease the supply and demand chain by producing
more. Energy is also another factor. Mechanical, electrical and the various sources of
energy that science has invented have led to more production.

Communication. Televisions and radios are products of science and technology.

We can be entertained, informed and educated through these sources. Mobile phone is
also one of the most recent sources of communication. Through using mobile phones,
we can easily connect to people all around the world.

Globalization. Technology has led viewing the world as a small village. We can
communicate, do business and interact with each other all over the world.

The rise of internet. This a full package. Talk of social media, online marketing
and businesses, online dating, online jobs and so much more. The internet is a platform
for all sorts of things. It is another world in the world. You can almost get everything on
the internet. Not to forget E-learning.

Science and technology are a package of goodies that has only begun to unravel.
Each day there is something new being made or discovered, all in the line of making life
better.

Answer the following questions.

1. What are the words that go hand in hand in the modern world?
2. What is the importance of Science and Technology?
3. As a student, how does Science and Technology help you especially in this
present time?

 WHAT IS IT

Read the italicized science words taken from the paragraph.

importance

 What are placed after each word?

 What does each syllable mean?

 What do you call these syllables?

Note: The syllables -ation, -ion, and -ization come at the end of the base or root word.
These syllables are called suffixes. Based on the examples given, you can form new words
through using suffixes. You can then infer the meaning of the borrowed words or content
specific terms when you know the meaning of the suffix and the base word.

 Another way of inferring meaning of borrowed words is using prefixes. Look at

these examples.

microorganism irrational multiply triathlete

antibody bilateral premature monopod

 What are placed before the base word?

 What does each syllable mean?

 What do you call these syllables?

 The syllables micro-, anti-, ir-, bi-, multi-, pre-, tri-, mono- come at the beginning of
the root word. These syllables are called prefixes.
 Prefixes and suffixes are affixes that are used to attach to a root word.
 You can infer the meaning of the borrowed words or content specific terms using
context clues, and affixes and roots.

 Context clues are hints to help define a difficult or unusual word. The
clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to which it
refers, or it may follow in the preceding sentence

of the difficult words.
