- Whole Class: OREO Project
- What's the OREO Project?
- What are the rules for stacking?
- Each student will have 2 attempts to create a cookie stack.
- Students will place one cookie on the paper plate/table cloth and add one cookie at a time to the stack.
- Students may NOT adjust the cookie after they have placed the cookie on the stack and moved their hand away.
- Cookies need to be freestanding and NOT leaning against any kind of support or use any kind of adhesion so they stick together.
- Cookie needs to be a regular cookie and not separated in ANY way.
- Another student should be tallying as the student stacks.
- A tumble has occurred once 1 or more cookies have tumbled off the stack. The complete stack DOES not need to completely tumble for it to be called a tumble.
- How many do you think you can stack? Add this to our OREO Project Spreadsheet
- Let's stack OREOs - outside on Kindergarten tables
- Record results on our OREO Project Spreadsheet
