1. What is it, why do we need it and how do we do it.

2. How long would it take to count to one million? How many atoms are in one cup of water? What is the mass of the earth in grams? What is the rest mass of a single electron?

3. 23 days. It might not seem like it but a million is a big number but small when compared to other much larger numbers in science.

4. 24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 One glass of water has that many atoms in it. That is more atoms than there are cups of water in all the oceans.

6. 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000g The mass of the earth!

7. The rest mass of a single electron! 0.000000000000000000000000000000911kg

8. Which number is easier to use? 0.000000000000000000000000000000911kg or 9.11x10 -31 kg 24,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000g or 2.4 x10 25 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000g or 6 x10^ 27

9. Calculating the force of gravity the sun exerts on the earth. Multiplication and Division are easier!

10. An abbreviation for very large and very small numbers in science.

11. 1a) Identify five objects smaller than the eye can see. 1b) Briefly Describe what the object is. 1c) Express its size in scientific and standard notation. 2a) Find five objects bigger than the sun. 2b) Briefly Describe what the object is. 2c) Express its size in scientific and standard notation. 3) Is the sun a large object on astronomical scales? 4) What is scientific notation and why do we use it?
