1. Recycling Container
#### Task:
Name 100 things that you could fit into a recycling container.
#### Solution:
-
Item: Paper clips
-
Container: Recycling bin
Explanation:
A recycling container is typically large enough to hold many small objects. Paper clips are compact and numerous, so fitting 100 paper clips into a recycling bin is quite plausible.

2. School Bus
#### Task:
Name 100 things that you could fit into a school bus.
#### Solution:
-
Item: Books
-
Container: School bus
Explanation:
A school bus has ample space inside, especially when seats are not occupied. If the bus were empty, it could easily accommodate 100 books (e.g., textbooks or novels). The size and shape of books make them ideal for filling up the available space.

3. Pencil Case
#### Task:
Name 100 things that you could fit into a pencil case.
#### Solution:
-
Item: Small rubber bands
-
Container: Pencil case
Explanation:
A pencil case is relatively small, so the items need to be tiny. Rubber bands are very compact and can be tightly packed together. Fitting 100 small rubber bands into a pencil case is feasible because they take up minimal space.
