Gummy Bear Governments!

I want to preface this saying...gummy bears are my favorite candy EVER, so this project is a no-brainer. I got this idea from Pinterest, and it totally fits into the 7th Grade History Curriculum. Students take notes on types of government and then "create" governments using the gummy bears. I put students in groups of 2-3 and put gummy bears on large white construction paper. I give them two piles, one pile they can eat and one pile they will use to build "governments." I have them take photos with their cell phones and they put the images in a Google Slide presentation to present to the class. 
Note: You could do this activity for the reasons why Rome Fell too. 
Check out the presentation HERE.
