Before you return to the text, let's study a few important words from today's pages. Understanding how words are built can help you understand the passage more deeply. Have you seen the words prefiled or impurities before? Where?

Have a conversation with a partner about the word "base" or "great." Do you know any other words related to this base word? What about the word stone? This is an instructive word with a metaloid or an intrustod portion, a sort of matter from different parts of loose matter. You may have seen a version of this tool in a kitchen.
