    This document provides an overview of numbers, units, and the scientific notation in a 7th grade science class. It defines physical quantities as measurable values that consist of a numerical value and a unit. It explains that scientific notation is more convenient than writing out long strings of zeros. Examples show numbers written in scientific notation. The document also discusses SI base units for quantities like mass, time, and length, defining the kilogram, second, and meter as their respective standard units. Students are asked to rank quantities by mass and identify the smallest unit of length and the SI unit of time.
