Save The Gingerbread Man: A Bridge Project
by Jacqueline Tancos
This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten.
The bridge needs to be free standing and able to support at least 20 plastic pennies.
