what its considered safety lab attire?
closed toed shoes, eye protection, gloves, pants (not shorts), full covering shirts with sleeves, tied up hair and laboratory coats when instructed
What are safety lab items/equipment?

rules to adding or subtracting scientific notation :
- convert all numbers to the same exponent before calculating
- add/subtract coefficients and leave the base and exponent the same!
rules to multiplying in scientific notation :
- multiply the coefficients
- then add the exponents
rules to divide with scientific notation :
- divide the coefficients
- then subtract the exponent of the divisor from the exponent of the dividend
Multiply using scientific notation:
(3.0 x 10^12) x (6.0 x 10^3) = ?
answer: 1.8 x 10^16
divide using scientific notation :
(7.64 x 10^-7) / (3.22 x 10^-4) = ?
answer: 2.37 x 10^-3
add using scientific notation:
4.0 x 10^7 + 2.0 x 10^8 = ?
answer : 2.4 x 10^8
subtract using scientific notation :
9.0 x 10^-5 - 6.10 x 10^-4 = ?
answer: -5.2 x 10^-4
What is the conversion mnemonic?
King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk Monday
conversion mnemonic measurements are…
King - kilo (0.001 in 1m) (1000 m in 1 kilo)
Henry - hecto (0.01) (100)
Died - deca (0.1) (10)
Base unit - meter, gram, liter, etc (1) (1)
Drinking - deci (10) (0.1)
Chocolate - centi (100) (0.01)
Milk - mili (1000) (0.001)
Monday - micro ( 1million) (1 millionth)
Fahrenheit to Celsius equation:
