Mole Day
Last Friday we celebrated the national Mole Day holiday with a festive party and many interesting mole creations; my personal favorite was the "mole dancer" swinging from a pole. However, a mole in chemistry carries a drastically different meaning. It is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. This is represented in the scientific notation as (6.023 x 10^23). Our celebration was a fun way to end the week, but also lead into our new topic of matter and measurements.

I agree, I thought this was a cool and fun way to help lead into the rest of our unit. It also allowed a nice break from all of the information that we had been learning.
