North Atlantic Right Whales Know Notations
North Atlantic right whales grow up to 52 feet (15.8 m) long and weigh up to 140,000 pounds (63.5 metric tons). To help them keep track of how heavy they are without using too many zeros, they use scientific notation. Because North Atlantic Right Whales are all so heavy, they know scientific notation really well.

- Express very large and very small numbers using both decimal and scientific notation
