MOLE DAY! For all our science minded competitors, we know today is a big day for scientists! October 23rd is also known as Mole Day, in honor of Avogadro’s number to calculate moles (6.02x10^23). In the past, science teachers would have students create themed plush moles with scenes using the number as part of the theme, like “This is Avocado the Mole, who picked 10^23 avocados from his avocado tree to make 6.02 gallons of guaca’mole’ for his birthday party on October 23rd.” with the mole in colors to look like an avocado, right down to the little pit design on its belly. Sadly, this particular mole was lost over the years in moves across the country, but it lives on in memory, much like the memory of what Avogadro’s number is! Does your science class still do this today? Tell us in the comments! And if you celebrate other math and science themed holidays, share those in the comments below, too! #moleday #avogadro #sciencebee
