Celebrated annually on October 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m., Mole Day commemorates Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 1023), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. Mole Day was created as a way to foster interest in chemistry. Schools throughout the United States and around the world celebrate Mole Day with various activities related to chemistry and/or moles. For a given molecule, one mole is a mass (in grams) whose number is equal to the atomic mass of the molecule. For example, the water molecule has an atomic mass of 18, therefore one mole of water weighs 18 grams. An atom of neon has an atomic mass of 20, therefore one mole of neon weighs 20 grams. In general, one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's Number of molecules or atoms of that substance. This relationship was first discovered by Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1858) and he received credit for this after his death

October 23 is National Mole Day. This project is in celebration of Mole Day.   You will make a mole problem poster.

You will solve an assigned mole problem and present your problem on a poster that displays the question, your solution to the problem, and a picture depicting the problem. Additional research will be necessary. You must not only show all work, but also include all data collected or facts determined doing research. All posters must be turned in by 10-20 and will be displayed around the school to celebrate mole day.  Posters should be both attractive and informative.  Worth 75 points  Due 10-21

20 point Bonus:  Make a mole.  You will sew a mole using the pattern found on this web page. Your mole must reflect this year's theme "Mole of Fortune". Your mole will be graded on craftsmanship and creativity used to illustrate the mole day theme.  Bring your mole to class on 10-21    Due 10-21  Mole Pattern,  Instructions
