There is usually a key labelled 10x or *10x or Ex where the last letter is in superscript. Enter the mantissa of the number, then press this key followed by the exponent.

How do you enter scientific notation into a calculator?

First of all, you have to have a scientific calculator, one that supports scientific notation. (As far as I know, all scientific calculators do.)
