The Shawl
*Dinner Table Scene*
C- (Reading newspaper, cuts herself) What the *bleep*
S- (Walks into room) Hey dad I have some homework that I need some help with, do you think that you can help me?
C- I guess
S- Okay well we are going over scientific notation, and significant figures
C- Well (states the rules for sig figs) Zeros may or may not be significant. They are significant when between nonzero digits, and when at the end of a number that includes a decimal point. They are not significant when before the first nonzero digit, and when at the end of a number without a decimal point. Now for nonzero digits. All nonzero digits in a number are considered significant. For example 4.013 has four sig figs. 900.2 has four sig figs.
SA- Don’t listen to your father he knows nothing. (She then explains scientific notation)
S- I can’t even concentrate with that awful smell!
C- That would be your mothers cooking.. Did you just notice that?
SA- Your one to talk you can’t even make cereal!
C- Your mom can’t make cereal
SA- Ohhh you wanna talk about mamas huh?
C- *Rolls eyes*anyways, heather do you get it?
S- No not really
C- Well that’s because you get your intelligence from your mom
SA- But she’s adopted
S- *goes to the corner and cries*
*Dart Scene*
C- y'all ready for a family game night?
SA- I suppose it will help release tension, Heather you're up for it
C- It will help you with your precision and accuracy because you suck so bad
(Explains precision and accuracy)
*heather throws all three darts and misses*
SA- Well you're accurate at sucking but at least you’re precise
