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.
Clearest scientific notation video on youtube, thanks for uploading.

This is actually very easy. I am surprised that I did not understand this in class. Excellent instruction. Thank you.
Everything is easy with proper instruction and understanding 👍

ye it is ez pez lemon squeazyyyyyy
It is called a teacher that doesn’t teach as well as this guy
Me also...
Thanks a lot...
I learned this in 7th grade, forgot it, and now I need it for 11th grade
we are doing it in 9th grade
I learned this in 7th, forgot, relearned it in 11th, forgot, and now am in medical school and had to relearn it again. Moral of the story: don't forget it.
every year i come back because i forget
You are funny yar
Same, thrn forgot it, need it for college Bio
first youtuber that didn't say like and subscribe so i'm going to do both :)
na just like a subscribe
My Chemistry professor mentioned that you need to know scientific notation and I was nervous because I forgot it. But now I know it. Thanks Tyler Dewitt
I also
Yeah, me too. The fear is really gnawing. FOMO! XDXDXD
*OMG! You're so good at explaining! Thank you so much!*

I really admire your speaking skills! You keep it interesting and show your passion for what you do. Right on man
This is literally saving my grades. Thank you! I missed the whole week where my math teacher taught chapter 8. The test is coming up and I thought I’d have to wing it!
I have to come here because my chemistry teacher does not teach anything properly. Thanks for helping me out!!
Thanks man, i was sooo confused in class today

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.

OMG I ALSO HAVE A TEST ON THIS TOMORROW AND I JUST FOUND THIS SAMEE!!! 😢
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!!!!
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 never see such kind of 1000% quality teaching. Thanks
This looked really complicated but now that it is explained to me its actually very easy
you are so much better than my physics teacher. she makes no sense at all.
thankyou.
same here! haha this really helped! :)
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!
Tyler DeWitt thanks so much helped with my test

Who else got this for their school assignment??
He teaches better than all my teachers I had for 2 years

@Golden I flunked my quiz friday. retaken it on monday. need review all weekend to get it down.
I got it
Lmao me
YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH UHHHH thank you im about to cry of happiness :'))))))
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 😭
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!
Thank you so much! I honestly wish I had a teacher like you. You do a better job at explaining this than any of my professors in college.
God if only you were my science teacher.
Dude that's math
@@furyff9912 Lol, Scientific notation is used in both math and science...I had to learn it in chem!
@@evam.3645 I used it in math then physics
u also use it in science....
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.
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 DeWitt
I agree with that. THANKS Tyler!!!
Or, if your decimal has moved to the right, if is negative. If it moves to the left, it is positive
B C I'm a visual person so no
Ik this is 2020, but this video cleared up everything I didn't know, thanks a lot
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!
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.
You explained this better than anyone on youtube. You are awesome! You deserve a cookie! :P Thanks!
my exam is next week and you saved my life. THANK YOU! 2019
my exam is next week and i didnt understand anything

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.
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.
Thanks Tyler, I just started my physical science class this week and this was the second assignment. Awesome video, well explained.
You're the best!!!! I had forgotten how to do this but you explained it so well! Thank you:)
I PASSED a Chemistry class because of this guy..Thank you wherever you are and be Blessed.
Wow thanks so much Im in grade 7 and this is my first time studying chemistry this help me alot thanks
Thank you soooooo much my teacher confuses me when she teach scientific notation
And just like that it seems so easy. Thank you, Tyler DeWitt. What an amazing teacher you are.
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
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.
+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?
+Tyler DeWitt oh I was going on his second example
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.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU
I've been struggling for two days, you explained it in 13 mins. THANK YOU!
i have a science quiz tomorrow and i was nervous but im not that nervous anymore...THANKS!!!!

omg thanxs alot tyler i really understand more while you explain and iam going to say the truth i wish if you were my teacher at school cause our teacher is indian and i never understand a word from her
Racist much
za nab she was just saying she was iIndian and yes they are hard to uunderstand she did not say she hated her.
Lol my teacher has an accent and i don't understand what she was talking about and we have a test tomorrow so watched this video
za nab Not even.... -.-
Mary Max You could've just said "my teacher is hard to understand." You said "Cause my teacher is indian"
What makes you any better.. you spelled thanks wrong, I doubt your indian teacher would.
You just gave me so much more clarity for the Teas 6 exam!!! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate all that you do!
I was the fastest one in class (grade 7) in solving scientific notation and now I need it for grade 9 for the official exam
Lots of love & respect❤️

You probably won’t see this comment but, god bless you!
Your teaching is extraordinary!
You just earn a sub, & I’d do more if I could!🙏🏻
Im focusing on his hands in the two . screen XD
This tutorial has saved my sanity. Taking assessment testing for university and I've not done math in more than a decade. I watched 3 other tutorials before yours and they were mucho complicado and very messy. Great job and thanks!
Teacher had me confused to the moon and back with this. Listening to you made it so easy I was able to instantly catch on. Thank you!

Who else here in 2019?
THIS HELPED SO MUCH!!!! i’m in accelerated math (i’m in 6th) and my teacher blasts through the lessons without thoroughly explaining it. you made so much sense and i’m so happy i watched this video!! i’m gonna cry :,)
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!

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!
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
Who else is watching this in 2020?
Also, this year sucks

Meow lol I mean me

this is literally one the best videos on TH-cam if you forget or don't know how to do this, learned it really easily and i have a test tomorrow. i trust this will help me dramatically (im in grd. 8)
GREAT job, Tyler! Your videos are a true inspiration for me to start making more of my own. Thank you!
You explained this better then any math or chemistry teacher I've had! 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.
My astronomy textbook barely even talked about it. But you really broke it down and taught it really well! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this! I've never taken chemistry before until college, and am terrible at mathematical equations. This helps a lot! Thank you!
Your videos helped clarify what i didnt understand from my class. You're great at explaining the steps and why.
omg thank you so much i feel so much more confident about my chemistry test your very good at explaining my teacher needs to learn from you
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 :)
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!!!!!!!!
Tyler Dewitt because of your videos i received a 100 on my chem Hessi entrance Exam for nursing school thank you!
I love that teach using stories! Just like you mentioned in your Ted Talk! Thanks for using stories in your videos! It really proves your point that stories at the best way to make a subject interesting!
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.
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!!!!
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...
Thank you so much. I have honors chemistry and nothing makes sense unless I watch your videos. Please upload more, it would be a great help. You're awesome!
Thank you! You really have a gift for teaching. My math final is tomorrow and I just had a 'light bulb' learning moment. Thanks again!
This helped me so much! You did a really good job at explaining this, I understood it right away.
Thanks for sharing. I had a serious trouble with it when I was young, but now I feel more confidence because of your help!!!
You are much better than my Maths Lecturer.Thanks Man
I'm a middle school science teacher and you kick ass, thanks for the great inspiration!
You are such a good teacher, bless your heart
thank you , i just found your video and i have been trying to do this for weeks and now i can finally answer my assignment
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I HAD A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHAT I WAS READING AND YOU BROKE IT DOWN SO EASILY
Bored at a coffee shop and decided to learn this as I’m learning a lot about the universe right now. Super helpful! Seems I learn better watching videos than reading a bunch of articles!
where has this guy been all my life?
i actually learned more in this 14 min video than the past week in my physics class, this vid came in clutch
Thank you so much Tyler! Has been a long time since i have been in school. You are amazing at explaining your problems out.
Thank you SOOO much you REALLY helped me with this. MY math teacher doesn't really take time to ex plane how things work, and this really helped you toke it slow and expland every step. THANKS SOOOOO MUCH BRO YOUR A HERO!!!!!
I wish my professor was as clear as your are when it comes to these concepts. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for this super helpful video and all your videos! Lots of good videos on TH-cam but yours always seem to be the most helpful!
This has gotta be the most helpful video on scientific notation *ever*
I can't believe how good you explain things
You are the best teacher ever as well as a good scientist. Thanx a lot for supporting us
Background in design and then technical writing. Fancied a career change at 27, so back in education, your videos are helping with the transition. So thank you (from Scotland) =]
The clearest examples have been by your videos. Thank you.
Tyler Dewitt these videos are much appreciated!!!!!!!!!
