Pumpkins

Last week we measured our pumpkins shortest to tallest, measured how tall, how round, and counted how many seeds were in our pumpkins. We also talked about the word, hypothesis and made our own hypothesis about whether the pumpkin would sink or float in water. Take a look at our pumpkin activities...

We put our pumpkins in order from shortest to tallest.

We practiced the word "float" by standing on our tip toes. 

We practiced the word "sink" by squating down low.

We tested our hypothesis and discovered that the pumpkins (no matter what the size) FLOAT!

 

 

 

We scooped out the pulp and seeds of our pumpkins and counted the seeds (by table group) using a 100s chart
