Abstract
Terms are considered keys of science, that understanding and assimilating them in a particular field or science implies understanding that field or that science. For this reason, the issue of “term” occupies a large part of linguists’ thinking in both ancient and contemporary periods, as it plays a great role in communication and transferring knowledge from one generation to another. In this article entitled “Mechanisms for Establishing and Explaining the Scientific Terms in the Books of Natural and Life Sciences for Secondary Education-Experimental Sciences Field”, we will try to classify the scientific terms included in these books, in which Arab linguists and scientists used several means to generate new terms through various methods such as translation, localization, and derivation. Next, we will outline the mechanisms that elucidate these terms, commonly referred to as the mechanisms of teaching scientific terminology. These mechanisms facilitate the learner’s understanding of scientific terms. Therefore, the authors of those books used a variety of them, as the synonym, the contrast, the educational explanation, the image, and the idiomatic phrase mechanisms. In this article, we will also point out some scientific terminology problems, such as terminological chaos and multiple terms for the same meaning.
