solve problems involving very small and very large measurements, timescales and intervals expressed in scientific notation
Elaborations
-
representing very large and very small real numbers in scientific notation, converting real numbers expressed in scientific notation into decimal form; for example, the approximate geological age of Earth is 4.6 × 109 years, and the mass of a glucose molecule is 2.99 × 10−22 grams
-
using knowledge of place value and applying exponent laws to operate with numbers expressed in scientific notation in applied contexts; for example, performing calculations involving extremely small numbers in scientific and other contexts
-
examining the degree of accuracy that different measurement instruments provide in a science laboratory, such as a measuring cylinder compared with a pipette, and recording data values to the correct degree of accuracy using appropriate scientific notation
