Here is the step-by-step solution to complete your worksheet.
Part 1: Add the suffix 'scope'
We need to combine the word parts on the left with "scope" to make new words.
* stetho + scope =
stethoscope
* peri + scope =
periscope
* horo + scope =
horoscope
* tele + scope =
telescope
* electro + scope =
electroscope
* kaleido + scope =
kaleidoscope
Part 2: Word meanings
Let's match the definitions to the words we just made:
1. An instrument used for detecting electric charges:
electroscope
2. Used in a submarine to see things that are out of sight:
periscope
3. A toy consisting of a tube that produce changing patterns:
kaleidoscope
4. A medical instrument for listening to someone's heart or breathing:
stethoscope
5. An instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer:
telescope
6. A diagram of the relative positions of planets and signs of the zodiac:
horoscope
Part 3: Who would use?
Match the person to the tool they use most often:
* doctor →
stethoscope
* sailor →
periscope (or telescope)
* astrologist →
horoscope
* astronomer →
telescope
* child →
kaleidoscope
* electrical engineer →
electroscope
Part 4: Words associated with 'looking'
Fill in the missing letters to find words related to looking, then solve the mystery word.
* v
iew
* glimp
se
* s
ee
* b
ehold
* gande
r
* r
eview
* glanc
e
* inspecti
on
Mystery Word:
Looking at the letters provided in the blanks (v, s, e, h, r, r, e, o), or simply unscrambling the concept of "looking carefully," the mystery word hidden in the puzzle logic is usually
OBSERVE.
*(Note: If you take the first letter of each answer above: V, G, S, B, G, R, G, I... it doesn't spell a word easily. However, looking at the boxes at the bottom, there are 7 slots. A common 7-letter word for looking is OBSERVE or INSPECT. Given "inspect" is already used,
OBSERVE fits best.)*
Part 5: Which word means?
Break down the meanings based on the root words:
* chest + look =
stethoscope (*stethos* is Greek for chest)
* around + look =
periscope (*peri* means around)
* distant + look =
telescope (*tele* means far/distant)
* small + look =
microscope (Note: This word wasn't in the top list, but *micro* means small. If you must choose from the list above, none fit perfectly, but typically this definition belongs to microscope).
Part 6: Use each word in a sentence
Here are example sentences you can use:
*
stethoscope: The doctor used a stethoscope to listen to my heartbeat.
*
periscope: The sailor looked through the periscope to see ships above the water.
*
horoscope: She read her horoscope in the newspaper to see what her day would be like.
*
telescope: We used a telescope to look at the stars and the moon.
