The document provides instructions for students to creatively depict biology prefixes, suffixes, and root words. Students are divided into groups and given terms to research. For each term, they must write out the prefix/root/suffix, define its meaning, draw a picture to help remember it, and include an example word using the term with its definition from a biology book, along with an illustration of the example word. An example is provided for the prefix "hydro-" meaning pertaining to water, with the example word "hydrophobic" defined as substances that do not like water, and an illustration of oil.
