5 little pumpkins, sitting on a fence... Remember that little ditty?
On Halloween, students took five pumpkins, both big and small, and took part in a fun and engaging "pumpkin exploration". They estimated, measured, observed and graphed their way through the activity, while learning so much about these orange fruits.
Did you know that pumpkins are fruits?!
That was the first of many interesting facts we discovered on this exciting day. Thanks to several parent volunteers, each group created a jack o' lantern and tried some pumpkin seeds the next day. Yum!
Does a pumpkin float? Yes!
We counted over 1,000 seeds in all!
Using their knowledge about the scientific method, students made predictions and formed a hypothesis before finding the results.
