Units to Scientific Notation (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on converting units to scientific notation and is part of an introductory module on scientific notation. The problems require students to transform various measurements, such as terabytes, gigaamps, terajoules, gigameters, teracandelas, terabytes again, and teragrams, into scientific notation. The exercises aim to enhance understanding of scientific notation, specifically with handling large numbers by expressing them as a product of a coefficient and a power of ten. These problems also help in recognizing and working with different metric prefixes and their corresponding powers of ten.
