October 14, 2015 molympics and the Use of Social Media for Collaboration Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)
We teach it, some celebrate it, and we try to make it engaging for our students. What is it? The mole concept and Mole Day! So how do we make it engaging for our students? Kristin and Doug introduce #molympics—an idea started on Twitter that resulted in five activities (events) not very different from what most chemistry teachers do in their own classrooms. By framing the lesson into a competition, students come to class ready to do some math review and learn about Avogadro's number.
