Scientific Notation

# *10 exponent

# must be less than 10, but greater than 1

If initial # > 1, then exponent is positive

If initial # < 1, then exponent is negative

SI PrefixesGiga – G billion times larger than m/L/g billion

--- skip line

--- skip line

Mega – M million times larger than m/L/g million

---

Kilo – k 1000 times larger than m/L/g thousand

Hecto – h 100 times larger than m/L/g hundred

Deka – da 10 times larger than m/L/g ten

Gram/meter/liter base units

Deci – d ten times smaller than m/L/g tenthCenti – c 100 times smaller than m/L/g hundredthMilli – m 1000 times smaller than m/L/g thousandth------micro - million times smaller than m/L/g millionth------nano – n billion times smaller than m/L/g billionth------pico – p trillion times smaller than m/L/g trillionth

Mnemonic Device

Great Many Kids Have Dropped Dead Converting Metrics Minus Nine People

Abbreviation will be provided with steps between on tests and is on doors in back of room!

Converting Between Units

Write down given

Put matching unit on bottom – to cancel

Put desired unit on top

Set LARGER unit equal to ONE

Count number of steps between units – the smaller unit will be 10steps between the larger and smaller units
