12. IN-PROCESS LEARNING CHECK 1
6. How many microamperes does represent? How is this expressed as a whole number times a power of 10 (with an exponent)?

13. IN-PROCESS LEARNING CHECK 1
7. What metric prefix represents one- thousandth of a unit? How is this expressed as a power of 10 (with an exponent)?

14. IN-PROCESS LEARNING CHECK 1
8. Using a metric prefix, how would you express 10,000 ohms? How is this expressed as a whole number times a power of 10 (with an exponent)?

18. READING RESISTORS and UNDERSTANDING METRIC UNITS is
FOUNDATIONAL!
BASIC
NECESSARY
EASY

19. READING RESISTORS and UNDERSTANDING METRIC UNITS
How do I learn this stuff? Read the book – duh! Practice – duh! Watch videos on the Web –duh!

20. READING RESISTORS and UNDERSTANDING METRIC UNITS

21. One-and-One-Half Story
One story design with a tall, wide roof that allows for expansion of living space into the attic
Attic = the space between the ceiling and the roof of a structure

22. One-and-One-Half Story
Dormers are projecting structures on a roof that have walls, a front-facing window and a roof
