Heat applesauce in a slow cooker. Read the book, Melting Matter by Amy Hansen. Ask children “What do you think will happen to these red hot candies if I put them in the warm applesauce?” Show children how cinnamon candies can change the color and taste of applesauce. Place appleasauce and candies out during centers for children to try. Encourage them to make drawings of their observations before and after they added the red hots. Have the children relate their cooking experience to what they see and hear from the book.
