Since France gave it to us, you can use cake and cut out the image.\n\n(France is only good for baking.)

Well first of all, why are you making it and not your son, after all it is HIS science project.\n\nTake a bottle, build a plaster of paris volcano mountain around it, put baking soda and red food dye into the bottle then just before the experiment is shown . add a teaspoon of vinegar - and watch the lava flow.\nBetter yet have your son do it under your supervision, he will learn more that way

How about a caterpillar? Check the crafts dept. at Wal-mart. Use stryo balls for the body, just glue five or six together in a line,  which you'll need to paint of course, add pipe cleaners for legs, just use wire cutters to cut them in thirds and just stick them in and bend them down, then use the stick-on googley eyes that they sell, and add a colored piece of paper cut for the mouth, and two toothpicks painted black and stuck in his head for antenna. Easy, and uses 5 materials

Are you do this project for yourself or one of your children? Go to your nearest "Craft Store" - there you will find all that you need, including the hundreds of "Popsicle sticks" you will need. Good Luck, and if I am correct and your doing this for your child, you need to speak to the teacher, this assignment is far to difficult for a Grade 3 student. The teacher should have started with a "hot plate holder" first! Have fun Mom!

Bring in items with shapes.....ice cream cone, cookie sheet, book, rubrics cube, etc.  Also, trace these shapes and have kids go on geometric shape hunt to try to find the shapes in school. \nFollow up with some type of worksheet.

If you are having problems helping your son with THIS task, heaven help the poor guy. He better have qualified teachers, who can explain things to the students, as he sure doesn't stand a chance to have it explained again at home.

I did something similar to this when I was in 3rd grade or so. What I did was take cheese cloth (can be bought at walmart in craft section and many craft stores) and wrap it around the head while wet with a flour and water paste. Just secure the bottom with a rubber band, the cheese cloth will create a canvis like surface on which you can use paint or markers. After that I got my brother to spray paint the bottle white and when the heas was dry I hot glued it onto the neck of the bottle letting the end of the fabric hang down inside. For clothes I used felt you can buy at craft shops that is already sticky on the back, but for yours I'd say you could just use markers on the spray painted parts because he wouldnt have really had cloth clothes if he's in a space suit. \n\nI'd sugest drawing a square on the head as a face window and drawing the face inside that. You could also go to the hardware store and get some small riged tubes usually used to secure wire to go from the back of the head to the bottom of the "suit" of the spaceman. \n\nIt would be neat to make space boots out of the bottom of two smaller water bottles glued onto the bottom of the larger bottle and painted white with the rest of the bottle. Good luck!

That is a complicated assignment for a child of that age.  It sounds more like what my seventh grader would be doing.  Actually they just got done with an assignment for science where they had to make a model car which ran on balloon power.  It's not even a full credit?  Ridiculous, you should talk to the principal or vice principal about such a complicated assignment.  Plus doing it over a holiday -- where's the holiday fun in that?!  Definately take that up with someone in authority, perhaps being in the industry they will listen.

Make an issue out of the single sex status of the other school.  Tell them you have ethical/religious issues with single sex schools and you will not stand for your son having to go to of those.  Not sure how to do that but it's food for thought.  Good luck.

Check out the national Geographic stores, they sell alot of these things in kit form that you have to build. Or if you need to use your own materials, find a picture or check a museum of an easy skeleton, make the parts our of either hard setting icing or bread doe and varnish it.

For the ice cream cones, take lots of sprinkles and let them pick out the colors to put on theirs..or things like raisins, other fruit, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips so they can taste different things with ice cream....How about snail painting??  No they dont paint the snails, you gather the snails, dip them in paint and put them down on a long length of paper. Sounds yuk but the kids enjoy it especially the boys! :o)

how about getting a bucket, a cups, and a dixie cup and then filling each with wet sand, turning it over to make a "sand castle" out of each.  you can show the kids the different sizes of each and how one is big, one is small and the other is in the middle (or for comparison words, you could do big-bigger-siggest).  you could then use these same size cups, scoop water into each and then pour it back into the pool.  each will make a different sized spalsh, again, big, medium, and small.  you could have the kids model make big medium and small pies of sand, or even provide them with wet sand to make the sand castle things themselves.
