Skellig research

Use these websites to help you find the definitions of the words on your sheet.

Online dictionary

You can also get definitions from Google.  Type define: into the search box and Google will give you a list of definitions.  Don’t forget the colon : after the word define.

Wikipedia is good for getting basic information.  Remember though, that anyone can add anything to Wikipedia, so you should always back up your learning with another information source, a book or another website.

Some of the words you are researching are medical terms.  Use the dictionary and the encyclopedia on MedlinePlus to find out more about these words.

There are lots of dictionaries and encyclopedias on the reference shelves (by the photocopier) that will be useful to your research too.
