About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students calculate products, quotients, sums, and differences involving scientific notation.
  • Students choose useful units for measurements in a 3D-printing design.
  • Students interpret scientific notation displayed by calculators and design software.

How to use

Use for independent practice after teaching scientific notation operations. Have students show calculations on separate paper, then discuss unit choices and the final display error.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

Design Measurements

Calculate each measurement. In scientific notation, the coefficient must be at least 1 and less than 10.

1.
The club designs a solid rectangular spacer. Its length is 3 × 10⁻² meter, its width is 2 × 10⁻² meter, and its height is 5 × 10⁻³ meter. What is its volume?
  • A. 1 × 10⁻⁶ cubic meter
  • B. 3 × 10⁻⁵ cubic meter
  • C. 3 × 10⁻⁷ cubic meter
  • D. 3 × 10⁻⁶ cubic meter
2.
A rectangular base has volume 4.8 × 10⁻⁷ cubic meter and bottom area 1.2 × 10⁻⁴ square meter. Divide volume by bottom area to find its height.

Complete the exponent: height = 4 × 10 to the power   meters.

3.
A slot is 1.25 × 10⁻² meter wide. A tab that fits into it is 9.5 × 10⁻³ meter wide. What is the difference between their widths?
  • A. 2.2 × 10⁻² meter
  • B. 3 × 10⁻² meter
  • C. 3 × 10⁻³ meter
  • D. 1.155 × 10⁻² meter
