Welcome
to the O.R.E.O. Project 2010!
(Our Really
Exciting Online
Project)
Each classroom will have each
student stack oreo® cookies as high as he or she can and then
average all their individual results to achieve a final Class
result. Before stacking the oreo®, each student will make an estimation of how many oreo® cookies they can stack.
This project is now over
(please visit ProjectsByJen
for current project list)
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
You will measure the COUNT of cookies used to
stack --
NOT height of stack.
Each
participating class will need to purchase at least 1 bag of Nabisco's Oreo®
Chocolate and Creme
Sandwich Cookies (regular stuf).
Students
will estimate how many oreos they are able to stack before the
oreos®
tumble and then compare with actual stacking results..
Students
are NOT to use anything to stablize the cookie
and they are NOT able to adjust cookies as they
stack. (i.e....once they have placed the cookie and their hand
has left the cookie, they may NOT adjust that
cookie again.)
Each
student will have TWO attempts to stack oreos®
and will recordthe highest amount they were able to stack before
tumbling.
Teachers will explain to their students that this is a
project with schools all over the world and also explain what
information this project is attempting to collect. They also need
to discuss that at the end of the project, all results will from
their classroom will be averaged and posted!
Once the entire class has stacked their oreos®, they will
average all their results to turn in ONE class amount.
A
"Guess Where The Cookie" voice thread has been
created for you and your students to guess where the cookie is!
