When a super-prefix is added to the beginning of a word, it alters its meaning. It adds complexity to the scientific language and makes it possible to create new words easily understood by the scientific community. This slideshow contains 27 scientific super-terms, briefly describing their meaning using text and images that help the learner to expand the scientific vocabulary.
