Scientific Notation •Scientific notation provides a convenient method to represent large and small numbers and to perform calculations involving such numbers. • In scientific notation, a quantity is expressed as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of ten. • For example, the quantity 150,000 is expressed in scientific notation as 1.5 x 10^5, and the quantity 0.00022 is expressed as 2.2 x 10^-4.

- 23. Engineering Notation • Engineeringnotation is similar to scientific notation. However, in engineering notation a number can have from one to three digits to the left of the decimal point and the power-of-ten exponent must be a multiple of three. • For example, the number 33,000 expressed in engineering notation is 33 x 10^3. In scientific notation, it is expressed as 3.3 x 10^4. • As another example, the number 0.045 expressed in engineering notation is 45 x 10^-3. In scientific notation, it is expressed as 4.5 x 10^-2.

- 29. 1.2.1 Investigation usingthe scientific method to gather appropriate data • The scientific method is a series of processes that people can use to gather knowledge about the world around them, improve that knowledge, and, through gaining knowledge, attempt to explain why and/or how things occur. • This method involves making observations, forming questions, making hypotheses, doing an experiment, analyzing the data, and forming a conclusion. • Every scientific experiment performed is an example of the scientific method in action, but it is also used by non-scientists in everyday situations. PARAN JONLY
- 30. Scientific Method Steps •The exact steps of the scientific method vary from source to source, but the general procedure is the same: acquiring knowledge through observation and testing. PARAN JONLY
- 31. 1. Making anObservation • Any information that you gather through your senses is an observation. • Scientists use standard tools and methods to make and record observations. Type of observation: Qualitative Observation: Characteristics or observations that describe. Ex. The mouse is gray. Quantitative Observation: Observation that uses numbers to describe Ex. The mouse is 10cm long PARAN JONLY
- 32. 2. Asking aQuestion • Asking a question helps focus the purpose of the investigation. Scientists often ask a question after making an observation. • For example, students observing deformed frogs might ask, “Could something in the water be causing the deformities?” 3. Forming a Hypothesis • Hypothesis is a possible explanation or answer to a question that is based on observation and can be tested. aka: Educated Guess • A statement of cause and effect that can be used to set up a test for a hypothesis is called a prediction. Example • Will an ice cube float in water? • If an ice cube is placed in water, then it will float. PARAN JONLY
- 33. 4. Performing anExperiment • Under Control - A controlled experiment tests only one factor at a time and consists of a control group and one or more experimental groups. • Designing an Experiment - Designing a good experiment requires planning and a consideration of all factors. • Independent Variable - The factor that can be changed. • Dependent Variable - What you measure in an experiment and what is affected during the experiment. • Collecting Data - Scientists keep clear, accurate, honest records of their data so that other scientists can repeat the experiment and verify the results. PARAN JONLY
- 34. 5. Analyzing Data •After they finish their tests, scientists must analyze the results. Analyzing the results helps scientists explain and focus on the effect of the variable. 6. Forming a Conclusion • Scientists must conclude if the results of their tests support the hypothesis. • Proving that a hypothesis is not true can be as valuable as proving that it is true. 7. Communicate Results • After finishing an investigation, scientists communicate their results. Sharing allows other scientists to repeat experiments to see if they get the same results. • Sometimes, new data lead scientists to change their hypotheses. PARAN JONLY
