•Matter: Anything that has mass and occupies space.
•Mass : The quantity or amount of matter that an object possesses.– Fixed– Independent of the object’s
location
•Weight: A measure of the earth’s gravitational attraction for an object.– Not fixed– Depends on the object’s location.

Scientific Notation of Numbers
Scientific Notation of Numbers
26
• Very large and very small numbers are often encountered in science.
6022000000000000000000000.00000000000000000000625
• Very large and very small numbers like these are awkward and difficult to work with.
27
602200000000000000000000
A method for representing these numbers in a simpler form is scientific notation.

Scientific Notation
• Write a number as a power of 10
• Move the decimal point in the original number so that it is located after the first nonzero digit.
• Follow the new number by a multiplication sign and 10 with an exponent (power).
• The exponent is equal to the number of places that the decimal point was shifted.

The Metric System
The Metric System
33
• The metric or International System (SI, Systeme International) is a decimal system of units.
• It is built around standard units.
• It uses prefixes representing powers of 10 to express quantities that are larger or smaller than the standard units.
