Here is really nice set of resources on scientific notation. Eighth and ninth graders explore the concept of multiplying and dividing in scientific notation. In this multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation...

Learners explore the concept of scientific notation. In this scientific notation lesson, mathematicians discuss how multiplying by a power of 10 affects the decimal. They play Powers of 10 Yahtzee. Students roll a die five times and each...

General chemistry class members engage in a mini-unit on mole conversions. Through nine lab activites with varying degrees of difficulty, they practice measuring mass and volume, molar calculations, and stoichiometry. Terrific...

Students apply estimation strategies and proportional reasoning to determine a scale comparing the planetary bodies to Earth. They convert measurements of time and distance using scientific notation. Both the metric and customary units...

Learners construct a model of an electromagnetic spectrum using play-doh and string. They use exponents and plot the radio/microwave, infrared, and visible bandwidths of the spectrum.

Students observe and count bird sightings around their schoolyard throughout the school year.

Pupilss explore science using technology in this instructional activity. They manipulate the TI to find important science topics. This activity requires a TI-84 or higher.

Learners solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Students use a NASA website do activities which help them better explain how air temperature and kinetic energy are related to aircraft propulsion.

Middle schoolers discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl...

The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...
