The Great Pea Analogy
And you
![Page 2: The Great Pea Analogy And you 100 peas (1x10 2 ) How much volume do you think 100 average size peas would take up? They would occupy approximately one.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bff41a28abf838cbce87/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
100 peas (1x102)
• How much volume do you think 100 average size peas would take up?
• They would occupy approximately one cubic inch.
• (Although personally, I think you may need to mush them together to make them fit)

What about a trillion peas?(1 x 1012)
• About 1000 houses (the size of a medium size town.
• But are we even close to a mole of peas?
• Oh no – not even close!
![Page 8: The Great Pea Analogy And you 100 peas (1x10 2 ) How much volume do you think 100 average size peas would take up? They would occupy approximately one.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bff41a28abf838cbce87/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Alright then, what about a quadrillion peas (1 x 1015)
• That is a lot of peas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Enough to fill all the buildings in Mississauga!
![Page 9: The Great Pea Analogy And you 100 peas (1x10 2 ) How much volume do you think 100 average size peas would take up? They would occupy approximately one.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bff41a28abf838cbce87/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Are we close to a mole yet?
•NO
•Not yet

OK what about a quintillion peas(1 x 1018)
• Well that would be enough peas to cover the entire province of Ontario with peas nearly 4 feet deep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• But still not even close to a mole of peas
• I am sorry I could not find a photo of Ontario covered in 4 feet of peas

What about a Sextillion peas?(1 x 1021)
• Yes this is a real number!
• This would be enough peas to cover all the continents of the world with peas 4 feet deep. Imagine North America, Africa, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia, all covered with 4 feet of peas!!!!!!!
• Still not close to a mole of peas

Well how much room would a mole of peas take up then?
• Imagine 250 planets the size of the Earth completely covered with 4 feet of peas.
• This would be a mole of peas
• Give or take a few peas of course

• How many peas would I have if they were the same as the number of atoms in my body???????????????????????????
• A cotillion peas (1 x 1027)
![Page 17: The Great Pea Analogy And you 100 peas (1x10 2 ) How much volume do you think 100 average size peas would take up? They would occupy approximately one.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bff41a28abf838cbce87/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
That blanket of peas
• Would be 4 feet deep
• And cover 250,000 planets the size of earth!!!!!!!!!!
• Wow a mole is a really big number then.
• So everything that contains a mole of atoms must be really big right????
