Firstly, what is Mole Day? Mole Day is a day celebrated by many chemists and scientists across the world on October 23, from 6.02 AM to 6.02 PM. These dates and times came from the number 6.02x10^23 which is Avogadro's number of particles in one mole of any substance.
During mole day we aided our chemistry teacher in organizing activities for the day. We formed groups and a younger class was allocated to each group where we taught them the basics about moles and made them have fun learning. My group consisted of three people and we cut out certain elements from the periodic table and challenged the students to make a mole of each substance as quickly as they can, with the winner being awarded a candy each time. They thoroughly enjoyed the work and receiving and the activity was a success. In this I focused on the outcome of planning and initiating activities as well as developing new skill. In the process of planing the activity, I spent an entire night cutting out hundreds of pieces of elements such as oxygen and carbon. Also I usually dont teach so teaching was a new skill I began developing. Overall, the response from the students was satisfying and I met the outcome i was aiming for.
