A: 30 September 2011 Objective: You will be able to: convert between scientific and regular notation convert between units of mass, length and volume Do now: What unit do we use to measure: a. Mass? b. Length? c. Volume?
2
Agenda I. Do now II. Scientific notation notes and practice III. Conversion between units notes and practice IV. Exit ticket V. Homework work time?!? Homework: Week 4 Homework pages 1-4 due Tuesday Lab Notebook due Tuesday
3
Properties Intensive: the property does NOT depend on the amount of stuff you have ex: temperature Extensive: the property DOES depend on the amount of stuff you have ex: mass Use your data to determine if density is an intensive property or an extensive property!

Scientific Notation 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 The number of atoms of iron in this beaker! Scientific Notation: A way to effectively show and compare really large or really small numbers.
5
Scientific Notation 8,000,000 = 8x10 6 0.00012 = 1.2x10 -4 Integer must be 1≤x<10 Positive exponent: number > 1 Negative exponent: number 0!)
6
Practice a) 4,500,000 b) 3,950,000,000 c) 230 d) 230. e) 0.00000045 f) -0.002 g) 0.00781
7
Convert to regular notation a. 3.4x10 12 b. 5.4x10 -6 c. 1.2x10 3 d. 7.80x10 -2 e. 1.20x10 -8 f. 3.98x10 10 g. 3x10 -2
8
Copy the number and rewrite in scientific notation or regular notation a. 100,000 b. -5,000,000 c. 450,000,000,000 d. 1,300 e. 0.01 f. 0.00 005 g. -0.0 045 h. 0.00 000 000 000 000 023 a. 2.3 x10 -2 b. 1.99 x10 4 c. 9 x10 -8 d. 6.505 x10 -12 e. 1.00 x10 -4 f. 4.55 x10 15
9
Remember… A negative exponent is a tiny number but is bigger than 0 (NOT a negative number!) A big positive exponent is a HUGE number. A negative number can have either a positive exponent or a negative exponent.
10
Round to three sig. fig. and express in scientific notation a) 745,000 b) 0.00054000 c) 540,321,324 d) 0.143589

SI Units for Measurement QuantityUnitSymbol lengthmeterm massgramg volumeliterL timeseconds
15
Unit Prefixes But what if it’s not practical to use a meter or a liter or a gram? You want to measure something much smaller or larger?
16
SI Unit Prefixes PrefixSymbolMeaning kilo-k1000 (meter, liter, gram) centi-c1/100 milli-m1/1000 So what does that mean? 1 meter = 100 centimeters 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
17
Converting between units Example 1: How many meters are equal to 5 kilometers? Example 2: How many milliliters are equal to 75.0 liters? Example 3: How many kilograms are equal to 2,500 grams?
18
C: 5 October 2011 Take Out Homework: Week 4 p. 2-3 Objective: You will be able to: convert between units of mass, length and volume differentiate between physical and chemical properties and changes. Do now: How many centimeters are equal to 4.50 meters?
19
Agenda I. Do now (6 min.) II. Homework Check (5) III. Conversions practice problems (10 min.) IV. Go over answers (5 min.) V. Exit Ticket (10 min.) VI. Chemistry, physical and chemical changes and states of matter Homework: Week 4 page 4: Thurs. Week 5 Homework page 1: Thurs.
