Gingerbread Science

We noticed a pattern in some of the traditional Gingerbread stories this week.  The gingerbread man was warned by the fox to be careful not to fall in the river or he might "crumble to pieces".  So, we wondered, is the fox just being sly and lying or does would the G.B. really crumble in the water?  

Our experiment:  Predict.  Then, submerge a gingerbread man under the water. Observe.  Reflect on what we learned.

Ask your child what happened!  It made for an exciting afternoon!
