Pre-Lab
Purpose
Background
This is not a formal lab. There is no hypothesis we are testing, nor is there a set
procedure we must follow. Instead we will be using a computer application to note
observations about the relative size of objects in our universe and then match those
objects with an appropriate metric prefix.
Predictions
Copy the question and your answer into the lab notebook after the purpose.
1. What metric prefix and its power would be suitable to measure the diameter
of the Sun?
2. What metric prefix and its power would be suitable to measure the diameter
of a helium atom?
Note: Explore the incredibly large and small objects that our universe possesses. If
you go too far in one direction and need to get back to the size of about 1 meter, hit

Conclusion Questions
Answer these in your lab notebook after you have completed the analysis
questions.
