Agenda

  1. Count rice by weighing — twenty grains first, then a full beaker
  2. Skill as you go: Measuring Well — tare, resolution, repeated readings
  3. What your rice method needs before it works for atoms
  4. Name it: The Mole — Avogadro’s number, against your rice constant
  5. Return to the paperclip and finish it, with units and significant figures

Things to do before our next class

  • Journal: your rice “mole”, how many grains it holds, and why your number differs from the group beside you.
  • Re-read The Mole and bring one question about the worked example.
