Mole Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists in North America on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM[1], making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from the Avogadro constant, which is approximately 6.02×1023, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in a mole, one of the seven base SI units.

Mole Day originated in an article in The Science Teacher in the early 1980s.[2] Inspired by this article, Maurice Oehler, now a retired high school chemistry teacher from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, founded the National Mole Day Foundation (NMDF) on May 15, 1991.[2]

[edit] How to celebrate
Many high schools around the United States and in Canada celebrate Mole Day as a way to get their students interested in chemistry. Paula Lundin, a chemistry teacher at Gladstone High School in Gladstone, Michigan, has provided a number of sample activities for her students[citation needed]. Examples include "Scavenger Hunt - Create a list of household items but use chemistry terms for the items you want. Such as: Something that contains NaHCO3," or "Write a Mole Day poem, story, or cartoon." Some teachers also have the class make mole themed craft projects.


[edit] Alternate observances[citation needed]
Some schools celebrate Mole Day on June 2 (6/02), rather than October 23 (10/23), presumably from 10:23 AM to 10:23 PM.
Some schools celebrate "Mole Week" around October 23.
The American Chemical Society sponsors National Chemistry Week, which occurs from the Sunday through Saturday during October in which the 23rd falls. This makes Mole Day an integral part of National Chemistry Week
