You think you know what really happened in Grimm's Fairy Tale, Hansel and Gretel, but, be prepared, Daniels Fourth Grade is preparing to put these two children on trial! Of course before any trial begins, there must be some evidence. The students are working on five different experiments using the scientific method . One of the experiments that the students are performing is, to find out if the witch's house would have survived the climate change ocurring during the time period of the 1300's when the story unfolded. As they researched the story they realized that one of the reasons Hansel and Gretel ( and other children) were taken into the forest was in part related to the climates mini-freeze. Crops were not growing, famine was inevitable and the people did not have enough food to feed their children. So, they took them to the forest and left them there. Some of the other experiments are What creatures would eat the bread crumbs?, What is the difference between a new moon and a full moon? and How did Hansel and Gretel know when it was noon? Our trial will be held at the Kerr County Courthouse in May.
