Supporting Science in the Math Class

Power of Ten - visuals for scientific notation http://www.powersof10.com/ website - Watch Powers of Ten video (quick registration) http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/ at this site you can visually see 10 -16 power (quarks) to 10 +14th power (100 billion kilometers)

Students need to write answers to the nearest tenth - also important to review.

For Microscope Magnification go to http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/virtual/magnifying/index.html from x25 to x1000 for a few items, including moon rocks, onion root mitosis, superconducting wire, microprocessor,

Formulas used in Science Class Density = Mass/Volume Mass = measured with balance Volume (mostly cubed) Work=Force x Distance

Formulas are usually stated in the question, but students need to practice finding it and filling in the informaiton on a chart. The science teachers will have examples of questions.

Students need to know how to extrapolate informtion from a chart and extend the line.
