Science geeks around the world will celebrate Mole Day on Oct. 23, 2009 between the hours of 6:02 am to 6:02 pm. Mole Day doesn't celebrate the animal, but honors Avogadro's Number, 6.02 x 10^23, a unit of measure used in chemistry. (Mole Day wiki)

The mole is defined as the amount of substance of a system that contains as many "elementary entities" (e.g. atoms, molecules, ions, electrons) as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12 (12C).[1]. A mole has 6.0221415×1023[6] atoms or molecules of the pure substance being measured. A mole will possess mass exactly equal to the substance's molecular/atomic weight in grams. Because of this, one can measure the number of moles in a pure substance by weighing it and comparing the result to its molecular/atomic weight

Mole Day is intended as a way to generate interest in chemistry among students.So how exactly does one celebrate Mole Day?

A Mole Day website has a few suggestions, including several Mole Day projects such as the Molympics and Mole-opoly. There is even a Mole Day song.
