Handed out Math Handout on Scientific Notation

Showed students how to use the calculator with scientific notation.

Students chose their groups and worked on a poster of "The Size of Things"

I listed several objects on the board, hoping the students could convert them all into meters. Students had a great amount of difficulty with this project. I then gave them all the answers as to the orders of magnitude but the assignment must have been confusing.

There will be a test on measurement Friday of next week.
