Let's give a round of applause for Amedeo Avogadro!! Without him, we wouldn't have a reason to celebrate in our chemistry classes on October 23!! (Oh, and we can also be thankful that he gave us a pretty nifty tool to use in our chemistry calculations.)
What are my plans for Mole Day?
I have a lab that I love, and I always do this lab on Mole Day. It is very simple to set up, and doesn't require anything too fancy. Students often have trouble visualizing a mole. This lab will provide a hands-on activity that will allow our students to "see" how big a mole really is. In one part of the lab, students are asked to write their name on the chalkboard. They then have to determine how many moles of chalk they used in the writing of their name. Kids love this!
So happy Mole Day to you. I hope you have a wonderful time with your students on Mole Day.
