The Three Tools • Scientific Notation • Graphs • Converting Units Don’t be offended if you already know this stuff. Feel free to take a nap.
An Atom ~0.0000000002 Meters 9 zeros after the decimal point !!
Datsalottazeros! ~0.0000000002 Meters Dersgoddabeabedderway And there is! Scientific Notation is a way to get rid of most of those zeros.
Do you remember? The Exponents Add!
The Sequence • 20=1 • 21=2 • 22=4 • 23=8 • 24=16 • 25=32 • 1,2,4,8,16,32, ……. Interesting but would be better if we only had one finger on Each hand!
Clicker: How Much Is • 16 • 43 • 128 • 32
You use what you have … • 5 fingers on each hand. • 2 hands • Toes are inaccessible • 2 X 5 = 10 • Lets look at “base” 10
Some of the numbers Nicer !
A real number { Scientific Notation 6 Zeros
What about decimals? ONE ONE
So.. 4 places after The decimal point First non-zero digit
What’s it all about?? Powers of 10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41gWUkVQ-9U PowerPoint Version also available.

Let’s review graphs. • A Graph is a way of visually presenting data from a table. • It usually has two axes. These axes can be anything but in science it is often an x- and y- axis. • Sometimes a graph is three dimensional.
An Important Graph DJIA ($) 1 box = 1 month time The Dow Jones Industrial Average (CNN-money 7-08
Another Important Graph 10 years of data – a different view! 6 mos
Last Topic in this SetUNIT CONVERSION • We need to convert days to seconds • How many seconds are there in 2 days? • What do we know? 1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds
UNITY “Days”cancel; Trick: Keep multiplying by unity!
So now you know ….if you didn’t know before. • Scientific Notation • Graphs • Unit Conversions Note: WebAssign HW
