Scientific Notation--Day 1

Writing a very large number or a very small number can be simplified if you know the rules for using scientific notation. Numbers written in scientific notation have two parts:

a. The numerical part, which must be expressed as a number between 1 and 10. Note: Using a 1 is okay, but using 10 is not.
b. The power must be written using a base of 10.

Students were familiar with this notation, so the homework tonight should be fairly simple.
