How Much is a Trillion?

[Photo by reubenaingber.]

If you collected stacks of $100 bills, could you fit a trillion dollars into your bedroom?

In your house?

In a warehouse?

If you spent a dollar a second, how long would it take to spend a trillion dollars?

You have very meaningful ideas and your concepts are pretty amazing. Do you have any suggestions on how to introduce probability to 6th grade middle school students?
