After reading the story, the children made predictions of what might happen if the Gingerbread man fell in the river: float, break, snap, melt, turn to liquid, crumble, go soft, sink, make the water brown.
So we did a science experiment to see. We put the Gingerbread man into water and we were correct… he dissolved and went into a soggy mush. After, we thought of different ideas to help the Gingerbread Man so he didn’t fall in the water. #LovePlover
