Well technically Footballs are not round, they are weird shaped...oval really.\nBut as far as the roundness of it, it is so you can handle it better. and it throws better

Go to a store like Michaels (or other art/craft) and take a look around, it might help for ideas.  You can actually buy a kit to make models now too.\n\nstyrofoam balls and toothpicks  (ala http://www.miniscience.com/projects/DNAmodel/)\nthere are other puffy like decorative clothing balls\n\nThese are some fun ones http://www.lake-mills.k12.ia.us/hs/sci/b-e1.html\n\nCandy would always work, but I think it would be harder to make it stay together and than transport to school.  Unless you could do like a 2D representation.

Tis the season...\n\nSo gingerbread would work well.  You could go so far as to make the axles out of the straight parts of candy canes.

this is impossible to answer, there are many shapes that could be made this way.  do you have any other information like right angles or angles at corners?

If you have half a sphere of Styrofoam, why do you need a soccer ball?  I would suggest not using spray paint at all, as it is likely to messy and inexact.  Either using tempera paint or magic markers, trace your continents on the round surface of the half sphere.  It would be cleaner to use stencils of the shapes you want, after applying a blue base coat on the Styrofoam sphere.  Similarly, use concentric rings of color on the flat side of the sphere, red for the core, orange , then brown for the thin crust.

Traditionally, basketballs were made using a rubber bladder (like a very sturdy rubber balloon) sealed inside of a sewn leather case. Later, a cloth lining was added between the rubber and the leather to add strength. Today, basketballs are made of flexible plastic shaped by a mechanical mold. The ball is pressurized by pumping air through a small hole on its side. \n\nIt would be quite an undertaking to make a basketball yourself, but you could probably do it the old fashioned way if you really wanted to. You'd need to get some leather and sew the pieces together around a very sturdy inflated plastic ball or balloon. Sewing leather can be kind of tricky, but you can do it with a bit of practice and a tool called an awl.

*find some old football jerseys and have the people who draft those players wear them, have a 'photo op' just like they do in the real nfl draft and take pictures.\n\n*get a chunk of green astro turf carpet to place under the draft table.  hire cheerleaders and pipe in crowd noise and jock jams.  get yellow penalty flags to 'challenge' other players picks.\n\n*big screen tv playing old football highlights, especially those of your opponent's key players (like carson palmer) getting his knee blown out. cool!!!

similar rectangles means length/width (or vice versa) ratio is equal.\n\nfootball length/width = 360/160 = 2.25\nsoccer width is at least 195, so to have a ratio of 2.25, length must be at least 2.25*195 = 438.75 which is more than the max. allowable length of 360.\n\nAnswer is NO.

The best soccer balls have between 1400 and 2000 stitches hand made and need 4 hours of work.\nSource-Sam

These are some ideas aimed for pre-k, 1st and 2nd grade:\n*you can provide different geometrical shapes and have them sort them according to color, size, shape, etc.\n*with the same shapes have them complete a pattern you start for them ex. red circle, yellow square, red circle, yellow square, etc.\n*try looking for a game called "Tangram", I don't know if you can buy one already done or you can make your own in this site:http://www.tangram.i-p.com/\n*give students play money and have them solve problems using it.
