Lab: How Big is a Mole? Introduction to the Mole Concept
You know that confused look we see when we first introduce the idea of "moles" to our physical science or chemistry students? This lab will help erase that look from their faces. Students often have a difficult time grasping the concept of the mole. They need multiple opportunities to see the size of a mole, and they need to practice converting between the units of moles, mass, and molecules.I love the simplicity of this lab activity. Students will find the mass of one teaspoon of a common s
