Chemistry students need scientific calculators every day to solve the problems of science. By solving chemistry problems, they are learning significant 21st century skill which involve critical thinking. Some examples are calculating how many copper atoms are in an electric cord, what is the mass needed to manufacture an electric wire and how much carbon dioxide is in a balloon that they blow up. These problems require a scientific calculator in order to be precise.
There are many steps to the chemistry problems and having a scientific calculator helps resolve these steps. Plus, the numbers are so large due to the large quantities of atoms and molecules that make up our world. A scientific calculator allows the students to calculate the large numbers easily.
