HOW TO WRITE IN SCIENTIFIC NOTATION 1. Write the original number. 2. Move the decimal point to the right or to the left to make the number between 1 and 10. Count the number of decimal places moved and note the direction. 3. Rewrite the number deleting all extra zeros to the right or to the left of the decimal point. 4. Write a multiplication symbol and the number 10 with an exponent. The exponent should equal the number of places that you moved the decimal point in step 2. If you moved the decimal point to the left, the exponent is positive. If you moved the decimal point to the right, the exponent is negative.

DESIGNING A CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT • A variable is any factor in an experiment that can have more than one value • The dependent variable (responding variable) is the factor measured or observed during an experiment • The independent variable (manipulated variable) is the factor that is tested; it is changed by the investigator to observe how it affects a dependent variable • Constants are the factors in an experiment that remain the same
