5.  Today I will be able to: ◦ Apply math skills to problem solving. ◦ Apply scientific notation to problem solving. ◦ Calculate multiplication and division problems using scientific notation.

6.  Scientific Notation Practice

7.  Warm-Up  Review Milk Lab  Math Assessment  Scientific Notation Activity, Notes, Practice  Exit Ticket

8. Review and explain the milk lab

9. You have 25 minutes to complete the assessment individually at your desk. You may not use a calculator

11.  What is scientific notation?

12.  In groups, brainstorm 3 examples of things that scientists/ engineers could study that would be large enough or small enough for scientific notation to be used to describe them

13.  Each group has an envelope containing numbers in scientific notation and standard notation.  Put the numbers in order from smallest to largest on your desk.

14.  A way to write numbers that are too big or too small to conveniently write in decimal notation  Standard scientific notation format ◦ 6.02 x 10 23  Notice there is only one number before the decimal

15.  Standard Notation – numbers that are in decimal form  When given a number in standard notation move the decimal to the left or right until there is only one number before the decimal  The number of spaces moved to the left or right becomes the exponent  The sign on the exponent is ◦ Positive – moved the decimal to the left ◦ Negative – moved the decimal to the right

16.  Examples ◦ 489000000 (Standard Notation)  Move the decimal to the left, exponent is positive ◦ 4.89 x 10 8 (Scientific Notation) ◦ 0.000123 (Standard Notation)  Move the decimal to the right, exponent is negative ◦ 1.23 x 10 4

17.  Start with number in scientific notation  Look at the sign on the exponent ◦ If positive, move the decimal to the right ◦ If negative, move the decimal to the left  Use the exponent to tell you how many places to the move the decimal point

18.  Examples ◦ 3.47 x 10 5 (Scientific Notation)  Exponent is positive, move to the right ◦ 347000 (Standard Notation) ◦ 7.82 x 10 -4 (Scientific Notation)  Exponent is negative, move to the left ◦ 0.000782 (Standard Notation)

19.  Multiply or divide the numbers first ◦ (don’t include x 10 exp )  When multiplying, add the exponents together  When dividing, subtract the exponents  Make sure there is only one number before the decimal place in scientific notation. You may have to move the decimal so there is only one

20.  Examples  (2.0 x 10 5 )(7.0 x10 4 )= ◦ 1.4 x 10 10  (15.0 x 10 7 ) / (3.0 x 10 9 )= ◦ 5.0 x 10 -2

21. Complete the practice at your desk. Whatever you do not finish will become your homework.

22.  Activity ◦ Find your matching partner by finding the correct standard notation and scientific notation pair  With your partner discuss the following questions: ◦ If you could have one special superhero power, what would it be? ◦ Would you rather have Cheetos fingers, or a popcorn kernel stuck in the back of your throat, for the rest of your life?
