Scientific notation

To day iam going to teach the topic was scientific notation,Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10-9. So, how does this work?
We can think of 5.6 x 10-9 as the product of two numbers: 5.6 (the digit term) and 10-9 (the exponential term).
Here are some examples of scientific notation.

10000 = 1 x 10424327 = 2.4327 x 104
1000 = 1 x 1037354 = 7.354 x 103
100 = 1 x 102482 = 4.82 x 102
10 = 1 x 10189 = 8.9 x 101 (not usually done)
1 = 100
1/10 = 0.1 = 1 x 10-10.32 = 3.2 x 10-1 (not usually done)
1/100 = 0.01 = 1 x 10-20.053 = 5.3 x 10-2
1/1000 = 0.001 = 1 x 10-30.0078 = 7.8 x 10-3
1/10000 = 0.0001 = 1 x 10-40.00044 = 4.4 x 10-4
