Dissolving science lab

We have been reading lots of gingerbread men stories, and we were wondering why he couldn't just swim across the river. We did a science lab using sugar cubes, kool aid powder, skittles, and gingerbread cookies. Each pair of partners had to predict what would happen we when poured water into each cup. After our predictions, we got to test it out like real scientists! Ask your child what happened to each item!
