Chemistry students at WHS participated in our annual Mole Day Celebration on Monday. Typically we celebrate on Oct 23rd, in honor of Avogadro’s number 6.02x1023. Chemistry students proudly wore their Mole Day T-shirts which were made by using a process similar to chromatography. During class, students participated in Mole Day activities and contests such as Mole Day Jeopardy, calculating the worth of a mole of pennies, playing Mole-in-One golf, guessing moles of water in a water bottle, and flipping a water bottle. We all had a “mole”velous day in chemistry!!!
