We will be celebrating Mole Day onJanuary 26, 2016. In order to celebrate, you will be completing a creative and original project and sharing it with the class. We will submit and present the mole projects in class on January 26, 2016

You may work as an individual or in pairs (2 people only). I have listed a few examples of mole day ideas. If you have another idea for your project, feel free to venture out on your own. All ideas for your mole project must be submitted for approval by January 19, 2016. The project is worth a total of 100 points and will count in the Reactions Unit or you may replace a test in another unit with your project grade (you cannot count it twice).
