Scientific Notation
Storyboard Text
- Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share my understanding of Scientific Notation.
- We will learn about its history,impact on daily life and culture.
- One way to easily show and work with very large numbers is to use Scientific Notation!Scientific Notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers. It is based on multiplication by powers of ten. For example, 650,000,000 can be written in scientific notation as 6.5 ✕ 108.
- Scientific Notation is mostly used by scientists, mathematicians and engineers, which allows professionals and others to write very long numbers in a much easier way to be easily understood.
- ...where he outlined a system for calculating the number of grains of sand in the universe, which he found to be 1 followed by 63 zeroes (1x1063). His work was based on place value, that was a new concept at the time.
- Decimal Notation
- Scientific Notation
- The idea or history of Scientific Notation was developed by Archimedes in the 3rd century BC...
- Scientific Notation is a very important math tool, used in today's society everywhere, no matter what you do or work as!
- It is used by scientists to calculate cell sizes, by astronomers to measure star distances and masses of planets, and bankers also use it to find out how many money bills they have in an account.
- Let's follow the examples and practice Scientific Notation together!
- Decimal Scientific Notation
- 1. 52,314 Move left 4 places 5.2314 x 104 2. 3.2 No need to move 3.2 x 100 3. 0.0000428 Move right 5 places 4.28 x 10-54. 602,000,000 Move left 8 places 6.02 x 108
- Move the decimal point right or left to arrange one digit to the left of the decimal point.
- If the decimal point is moved to the left, the count is positive. If the decimal point is moved to the right, the count is negative.

- We hope you had a great time learning about Scientific Notation with us! Have fun and see you next time!
