Scientific Notation: Introduction
To see all my Chemistry videos, check out
socratic.org/chemistry
Learn to convert numbers into and out of scientific notation. Scientific notation is a way to express very big and very small numbers with exponents as a power of ten. It is also sometimes called exponential notation. In this video, we will have an explanation and tutorial, and do practice and example problems.

What I like about him is he isnt rushing and is explaining carefully so we would all understand,at the same time he's trying not to make it boring.I have a test tomorrow and this will practically save my life.

I am learning about scientific notation in school right now and it is actually so easy!! But with you explaining and showing examples, that makes it much easier. Thanks!!!!
I never see such kind of 1000% quality teaching. Thanks
You are doing an EXCELLENT job of explaining these concepts. I heard it said once, that the true mark of an excellent teacher is his/her ability to take difficult concepts and present them in a way that makes them appear simple. You have done just that! As a homeschooling mom of four, we have had the opportunity to sit under the instruction of many teachers .... you are among the best!!! Thanks - wish you much success!
Hey Tyler DeWitt your videos are absolutely fantastic, man. They really help people who are struggling with Chemistry. They way you explain is the best in my views. Thanks so much and keep up the great work!
I like how you are not like regular teachers who just write what the textbook says. You actually explain the meaning behind it, its purpose, etc. This really helps better understanding mathematical topics.

I love how thorough you are at explaining this. Baby steps for those like me barely learning scientific notation is much needed. All teachers should be like you!! Unfortunately, science professors just expect you to know this stuff. Thanks for sharing!!!
Tyler, you are a god send man. I started my summer general chemistry class and two days in thought I was going to bomb. Just spending a few hours watching your videos has got me in a place where I can feel confident that I could pass. Some people are just not meant to be teacher, you on the other hand have mastered teaching people chemistry. Thank you!
YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH UHHHH thank you im about to cry of happiness :'))))))
The sad thing is that this was actually more helpful then when my science teacher explained this in class lol
Had a hard time learning this in class because my teacher scares me... Thank God for this video!
i’ve only watched three of your videos and i’ve learned more than anything my chemistry has taught so far, if i pass my final it is sincerely because of you 😭
Ik this is 2020, but this video cleared up everything I didn't know, thanks a lot
These rules are EASIER. If it was originally a WHOLE number, the exponent will also be POSITIVE. If it was originally a DECIMAL number, the exponent will be NEGATIVE. I don't know... that's just what works for me.
@tdewitt451
10 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think those rules are good for many cases, and you should definitely use them if they work. The reason I like my method is because it also works really well for when you have to turn scientific notation back into regular numbers. And when you have a number like 0.00045 x 10-5 that you have to turn into correct scientific notation, that can also get tricky if you don't have a good sense of how the exponent goes up or down as you move the decimal place left or right.

Tyler, You have a special gift. You understand and you can explain it better than anyone I know. What a relief you give. Very happy I found your video! Thanks for sharing.
First video I've watched on notation and I've no need to go in search of others like I'd usually do because I didn't understand the first one. Perfectly explained without the fluff. Excellent video.

Thank you soooooo much my teacher confuses me when she teach scientific notation
This is the easiest way to learn! I love it! Wish i had a teacher like him, who used a teaching method like his for all of my subjects! I would understand everything! In my maths class today, I was learning this topic and couldn't understand, so I asked my teacher, who tried to explain it to me for atlas 10 MINUTES. I still didn't entirely understand, but after watching just 6 minutes of this video, I understand how it works! Thanks Tyler!
I just learned more in less than 14 minutes than I did from my useless chemistry lecturer in 2 x 1.5 hour torturous lectures. Bravo and thank you for the vid. Simple, very easy to grasp, lots of examples, great stuff :)
Wow thanks so much Im in grade 7 and this is my first time studying chemistry this help me alot thanks
Ok I have a question, if the number has a decimal right in the middle of it or somewhere around the middle and there are numbers that are NOT zero on both sides of the decimal what do I do then? An example of this is 100.009 or 156.99. Please help me, thank you
@nadaakoubaa8519

You can't put it in scientific notation, because when you do use scientific notation you raise a power to 10 and no matter what you raise it to, the outcome will always be a bunch of zeroes.
@tdewitt451
8 жыл бұрын
+Nadaa Koubaa You can put any number into scientific notation. Just follow the rules in this video. Wherever the decimal place currently is, that's 10^0. Then just start moving it to the left and make the exponent bigger. So your first example, 100.009, you'd move it two spots to the left and you'd get 1.00009 x 10^2. Make sense?

@Aaron-gp8cp

You can do it with the second example as well, the number doesn't have to be 0. For the second example, the answer would be 1.5699 x 10^2, you'd move the decimal two spots to the left, just like for the second example. Scientific notation works for all numbers.
I've been struggling for two days, you explained it in 13 mins. THANK YOU!
I sat in my first chemistry class totally overwhelmed and glazed over...I came home and found your tutorials. Thank you sooooo much! I get it. I have a lot more hope I will do well in the class.

Im focusing on his hands in the two . screen XD
Who else here in 2019?
Thank you!! I have a test tomorrow and i've been searching the internet trying to find a tutorial about scientific notation that makes sense! Great job!!!!!!!!
Your videos help me so much. You have a great gift for explaining things thoroughly and simply. Sadly, my teacher doesn't have that or maybe it's his method that doesn't click with me. I am a visual learner and all your examples really help me grasp it. I really rely on your videos to help me with homework, exams etc. So, again, thank you so much!

GREAT job, Tyler! Your videos are a true inspiration for me to start making more of my own. Thank you!
this is what i call a true teacher, he explains it so well i understood every part of it... thank you so much. and let me tell you if i can do it anyone can...
You explained this better then any math or chemistry teacher I've had! Thank you!
I haven't done this in a while so when they showed it to me in chemistry the instructor made more complicated than it needs to be forgot how easy it is thank you
You make it so easy. When I come back from school I rush here to hear your explanations cause in school I have a very hard time understanding. You really know how to teach.
Have a huge test tomorrow, and I sit in between loud people. I always get distracted in class. This guy is seriously saving my chemistry grade. Thanks!
Your videos helped clarify what i didnt understand from my class. You're great at explaining the steps and why.
Thank you so much for this! I needed a refresher before teaching my son his homeschool math lesson on scientific notation. The way you taught this was so perfect that I let you do the teaching! I LOVE your teaching style. You make even complicated concept easy to understand.
My astronomy textbook barely even talked about it. But you really broke it down and taught it really well! Thanks so much!
OH my goodness! Thank you so much for this video, now im pretty sure i get this. ive been sitting in class soooo confused about how this works because no one explained it to me enough to make me understand and half the people in my class dont get it either, thank you so much for this!! you are a life saver!!!!
Thanks for this super helpful video and all your videos! Lots of good videos on KZread but yours always seem to be the most helpful!
seriously, the best teacher ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much.
