Metric Prefix Summary Table

This listing features two full-page tables that offer chemistry and physical science students an opportunity to practice writing out the metric prefixes, symbols, factors, scientific notations, and expressed values. This activity covers the metric range from nano- through giga-. I filled in the answers for eleven of the fifty-five cells for modeling purposes. Students complete the rest. The layout of the second full-page table is identical to the first table. The only difference is I changed out the cells that are pre-answered. I was tired of seeing chemistry students bomb a smaller version of this table on my unit one exam. Assigning this activity has made a substantial difference in the scores of that section on the assessment.

I have 17 years of publishing experience and offer a myriad of publications for the sciences through several international science supply companies.
