The 30 Day Challenge

DAY 13 - SCIENCE GEEK

Read 2 articles from Science Magazine and make a list of any technical terms you don't know: http://www.sciencemag.org.

Read the articles a second time and try to guess the meaning of the unknown words by looking at the context.

For each word consider:
1) definition
2) pronunciation
3) part of speech
4) relation to the main idea.

Check your answers using an online dictionary and visit http://forvo.com to verify your pronunciation. If Forvo does not have a particular word in its database, make a recording of the word and actually submit it to Forvo here (you need to create a login first).

Finally read a third article and record 10 more technical terms to contribute to the database.

Extra points - Make a voice recording of you explaining one of the articles pretending to be a news reporter and post it on my Facebook page.
