quantitative
unused numbers to describe an observation
precision
the digress to which experimental results differ
accuracy
how close the results are to standard
calibration

left= negative than number of spaces is the same as the exponent
multiplying scientific notation
number portion and add exponents
dividing scientific notation
divide number portion and subtract exponents

ignited and ride the Methane us less dense than air
third rock

white is most, red is middle, black is least
fish tank
co2 more dense than the space below
silly cylinders

floats in water, sinks in alcohol
Cartesian diver
volume decreased density goes up
increases in density volume doesn’t change
