Science prefixes and suffixes

Choose HTML instead of JAVA to view these flashcards. The following flashcards are root words that will help you learn science vocabulary. If the root word is followed with a hyphen, it is most commonly used as a prefix. If it is preceded with a hyphen, it is most commonly used as a suffix. If it is both preceded and followed by a hyphen, it can be used either as a prefix or suffix. If it has no hyphen around it, it is usually used alone.
