To top off our holiday theme this season, we will learn a little bit about cranberries.  What makes a dried cranberry different from a fresh cranberry?  What do fresh cranberries taste like?  Which will float and which will sink?  These are just some fun demonstrations.  Then the challenge comes...  

The challenge for this JAM session is to make decorative ornaments and other intricate structures using cranberries and toothpicks.  It is a classic engineering-themed activity with a holiday twist.
