Sophomore Robbie Bock and junior Robert Giamalakis perform "Another Mole Bites the Dust", a play off of the hit song by Queen, for Mole Day.

Chemistry students celebrate Mole Day
Chemistry students in Sophia Vatistas' class celebrated Mole Day on Oct. 24 with food and live entertainment.
Students brought in guaca-mole, Mole-tin Dew and other mole-related treats to share with their classmates. Some created mole models or mole-biles to decorate the classroom. One group performed mole music, changing the lyrics of well-known songs to fit the day's theme.
Every year, schools around the United States and the world recognize Mole Day on Oct. 23 from 6:02 a.m. to 6:02 p.m. to commemorate Avogadro's Number (6.02 x 10^23), which is a basic measuring unit in chemistry. The day also is designed to foster student interest in chemistry by centering activities around chemistry and/or moles.
Vatistas said she used Mole Day to introduce the upcoming mole unit in her class.
