To determine the meaning of the word, Patrick should first consult:
**the glossary in his science book**
The glossary of a textbook is designed to provide definitions for terms that are specific to the subject matter covered in the book. Since the word is in bold print in his science book, it is likely a key term relevant to the subject and would logically be included in the book's glossary.
