In scientific notation, how is the exponent affected when the decimal is moved to the right? • When the exponent is moved to the right, the exponent decreases.
Why should you never heat something in a closed container? • Expanding gas may explode
Why must 100 = 1? • A rule holds with all numbers that when you divide the same base that is raised to a power, you subtract the exponents. Since we already know that when you divide a number by itself the answer is one, 100 must equal one

What is the difference between a base unit and a derived unit? • A base unit is a single unit where a derived unit is a combination of base units.

Why was scientific notation developed? • To write very small numbers and very large numbers with ease • To simplify scientific calculations
What is this and what is its purpose? • Triple Beam Balance; Measures mass in grams
Why should no experiment be considered a failure? • An experiment with unexpected results provides a chance to learn something new. Excluding possibilities is as important as the discovery.
Why have we not yet fully adopted the metric system? • We were already significantly more advanced in industry when the rest of the world adopted the metric system. Because of the cost involved in switching over, we developed a 50 year plan. It has been 60 years
