Scientific Notation - Part 2

Here is a copy of today's notes and work that students completed in class. (If you were absent -- see me BEFORE advisory tomorrow morning.)

Tomorrow, students will hear a short story (which they will review Elements of Fiction and theme) that is related to exponential growth. Then partners will follow a given series of steps that involve exponents and scientific notation to help answer the question: When will the world population reach 8 billion? Afterwards, each student will complete a line graph with their collected data.  THIS WILL BE AN ASSESSMENT GRADE.
