Scientific Notation Review
Often used to express very large or very
small numbers. Also used to maintain
correct number of significant figures.
Form: (# from 1 to 9.999) x 10exponent
800 = 8 x 10 x 10 = 8 x 102
2531 = 2.531 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 2.531 x 103
0.0014 = 1.4 / 10 / 10 / 10 = 1.4 x 10-3
Scientific Notation Practice
Change the given number to standard form.
000000187000000
1.87 x 10–5 = 0.0000187
3.7 x 108 = 370,000,000
7.88 x 101 = 78.8
2.164 x 10–2 = 0.02164
(-) exponent = number < 1
(+) exponent = number > 1
Scientific Notation Practice
Change the given number into scientific
notation.

Significant Figures
about…
A student is combining separate water
samples, all of differing volumes, into one
large bucket. Samples A, B and C are 25.5
mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively.
Once combined, what is the total volume of
all the samples?
92.87 mL
NO!
Because the samples were each measured
with a different level of precision, we must
factor that into our calculations by identifying
what are called significant figures.
Measurement and Accuracy
• The last digit of any measured number is
assumed to be an estimate (uncertain)
• The second to last digit is assumed to be
known with certainty (based on a line)
A (25.5 mL) B (16.37 mL) C (51 mL)

Counting SF’s in a number
Non-zero numbers: ALWAYS count as SF
Zeroes
Relative

non-zero
numbers
.
Left: NEVER count as SF (0.000345)
Middle: ALWAYS count as SF (5001)
Right: sometimes…
w/ decimal point: count as SF (25.10)
w/o decimal point: DO NOT count as SF (8200)
Exact Numbers: IGNORE SF

Sig Figs with Calculations
Note: For any calculations, always perform the entire
calculation without rounding, and then round the final answer.
Addition/Subtraction
• Round the answer to the LEAST number of
decimal places found (least precise)
11.31 + 33.264 + 4.1 = 48.674 → rounded to 48.7
Multiplication/Division
• Round the answer to the smallest number of
SF found
5.282 x 3.42 = 18.06444 → rounded to 18.1
(3.42 only has 3 SF)
Back to the original question…
A student is combining separate water
samples, all of differing volumes, into one
large bucket. Samples A, B and C are 25.5
mL, 16.37 mL and 51 mL, respectively.
Once combined, what is the total volume of
all the samples?
25.5 mL + 16.37 mL + 51 mL = 92.87 mL
93 mL
Could I write that as 93.0? NO!
More practice with SF
If you made measurements of three
samples of water (128.7 mL, 18 mL and
23.45 mL), and then poured all of the
water together in one, unmarked
container, what total volume of water
should you report? Support your answer.
128.7 mL + 18 mL + 23.45 mL = 170.15 mL
170. mL or 1.70 x 102 mL

The Metric System
SI System
• The International System of Units
– abbreviated SI from the French Le Système
international d'unités
• Based on the metric system (with small
variations)
• Based on powers of ten
– Uses prefixes to differentiate between powers
• Used in nearly country except U.S. (Liberia and
Myanmar are some others…)

Area and Volume: Derived Units
Area = length x width
= 5.0 m x 3.0 m
= 15 ( m x m)
= 15 m2
Volume = length x width x height
= 5.0 m x 3.0 m x 4.0 m
= 60. ( m x m x m)
= 60. m3

Reporting Measurements
• Must use significant
figures
• Report what is known
with certainty
Using dashes
• Add ONE digit of
uncertainty beyond
that
Using estimation
The implication is that for any measurement,
the last digit is an estimate and uncertain,
and the next to last is known with certainty

Practical Conversions
Teachers get a lot of grief from normal
workers because they only work 36
weeks a year. How many extra hours,
per day, would a teacher have to put in
to match the typical worker, assuming
a teacher works 8 hrs per day for those
36 weeks?
What assumptions must we make?
