To convert the number **0.0043** into scientific notation:

1. Move the decimal point to the right until only one non-zero digit is to the left of the decimal. For **0.0043**, we move the decimal point **3 places** to the right, making it **4.3**.

2. Since we moved the decimal point to the right, the exponent will be **negative**. The number of places moved determines the value of the exponent.

Thus, **0.0043** in scientific notation is:

\[
4.3 \times 10^{-3}
\]

Here are some follow-up questions to consider:
1. How do you convert a number from scientific notation back to standard form?
2. What is the general rule for deciding whether the exponent is positive or negative?
3. How would you write the number 4300 in scientific notation?
4. Can you express 0.000012 in scientific notation?
5. What happens if the decimal is moved to the left instead of the right?

**Tip:** The exponent in scientific notation tells you how many places to move the decimal point. Negative exponents move it to the left, and positive exponents move it to the right.

Write the number 0.0043 in scientific notation.
