Overview

In this lesson students will review all quantitative measurement units used in chemistry they have learned thus far in order to compare and contrast microscopic units and macroscopic units. They should come to the conclusion that both moles and grams are macroscopic units while atoms and molecules are microscopic units. They will end by converting between macroscopic units of grams and moles.
