This is during Christmas break on my family's annual gingerbread-house-building day. So what does gingerbread have to do with physics? In class we learned that "all things are attracted to one another". Due to gravitational force, everyone's roofs kept sliding apart (despite the super sticky frosting we used). Because of physics, I now know that the same gravitational force that pulled the gingerbread down is also the same force that pulls the moon towards earth...Wow...Anways, all the candy we loaded on the roofs also exerted downward forces on the gingerbread houses and the gingerbread houses exerted upward forces on the candy. Everybody finally got their roofs to stick, and I have to say, they ended up looking pretty impressive =)
