DOUBLE STUFF CHALLENGE!

Have 2 containers (or 2 plates, cookie sheets, waxed paper, etc) -- measure the weight of this before adding "stuf"
Scrape out all the stuf from the regular cookie bag and place in a container.
Scrape out all the stuf from the double cookie bag and place in a container.
Weigh the two containers and report your findings on our blog!!
MATH MASS
Directions: First, set up a balance scale with hanger and plastic bags.
Students should be in groups of 3 - 4.
Each student chooses an object in the room for which other players will estimate the mass.
The other players will write down the number of Oreos® they think equals the mass of the object chosen.
They may pick up the object and examine it to help estimate.
The person whose object it is measures the mass using Oreos® and the balance scale. The player with the closest estimate picks the next object.
CREATE A GRAPH
Visit http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ and have your students create a graph to represent either individual students, groups of students, or visit the RESULT page and compare YOUR results with other classrooms.
