Need help with my first grader's school project.....

[TEEZLE]

Basically, we need to do a project that has a 100 pieces. And also write a little thing on what the project is. The paper also included an idea about using a 100 popsicle sticks for making something.

What should we do?

 

[Minjin]

100 pieces of sand...make a beach!

 

[BigJ]

Build a bridge out of popsicle sticks.

 

[Tauren]

I made a toothpick gallows when I was a kid.

 

[TEEZLE]

hehe

bridge idea seems kind of cool.....

 

[TEEZLE]

guess it's a hard one huh?

 

[Atheus]

What can you realistically get 100 of? Gotta be like nails, toothpicks, ping pong balls...

 

[Bootprint]

99 bottles of beer

If a bridge is too much he could do a house.

Legos... (I don't care if you want to bash me for calling them Legos, and not pieces of LEGO) If your kid is at all like me or pretty much everyone else I know, he probably has a few hundred laying around... build something from them

 

[IronWing]

Materials:
One hundred wine corks.
One large sheet of cardboard.
One bottle of Elmers glue.


Glue corks randomly to the cardboard. Instant clearcut! Look sad.

You should get a hundred nand gates and build a fulladder...

...or let your kid pick out a hundred of something he/she likes. Hmm what do kids like...legos, popcicle-sticks, toothpicks, army men, cherios...let him/her go wild.

100 nearly identical pieces?? i.e. would a piece of wood and 10 nails count as 11 pieces; or do they all have to be somewhat similar?

Simplest: puzzle.

 

[yankeesfan]

The simplest would be a LEGO tower.

 

[FoBoT]

100 Qtips, build a fort or a fence

 

[IronWing]

Make a popsicle graveyard.

bribe a 3rd grader for tips on how he passed? 😉

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Make his initials. If they want a use, it's how he expresses himself/herself through art and enjoys their time rather than causing trouble. 😛

Using 100 pieces of candy

 

[IronWing]

100 cigarettes, make a forest fire.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Shouldn't your first grader be figuring this out on his/her own?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

When I did this in 2nd grade I took an old motherboard and glue-gunned a hundred various computer scraps to it.

Tell him to exhale in the direction of the class, and say he just exhaled 100 atoms of some trace gas. Xenon or krypton, I don't know. Or teach him scientific notation, and have him write 100 * 10^20 or some big number on the board - the number of atoms he just exhaled.
(Hey, when I was in kindergarten, I tried (unsuccessfully) to explain infinity to someone who thought 100 was the biggest number. Kids love big numbers.😀)

Teach him binary, and have him write the numbers from 1-100 in binary.
