Mole Day - Who Knew?

Chemistry class offered extra credit to create a mole and bring it to school at 6:02 a.m. on 10/23.  What the heck you say?  Well here's the thing. Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by chemistry teachers, students, enthusiasts, etc.  The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02 × 10²³, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance, one of the seven base SI units.  Thank you Wikipedia. I have to say that the artistry of my daughter is exceptional.  She created the mole using cornstarch, conditioner and food coloring. It is the CUTEST thing ever and so creative. We drove it to school and arrived before 6:00 a.m. I thought she'd be alone, but there were TONS of students. This really is a nutty chemistry thing.
