Description
The lesson includes a demonstration that reinforces the point that using scientific notation is convenient when working with very large or very small numbers and helps students gain some sense of the change in magnitude when different powers of 10 are compared. This is an excellent time to watch the 9-minute classic film “Powers of 10” by Charles and Ray Eames, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0, which clearly illustrates the effect of adding another zero.
