Happy Fall Y'all- pumpkins!

 All week long we have been learning about pumpkins. It's been so fun to see what the kids already know but also to watch them learn new things. We created interactive notebooks this week where we put all the pumpkin information and activities. Here are a few pictures from the pumpkin activities we did this week:

On Monday, we discussed what we already knew about pumpkins.

On Tuesday, we estimated the circumference and height of the pumpkin using cubes and yarn. 

Then we measured to see how close our predictions were to the actual lengths. 

We predicted whether a pumpkin would sink or float. We also predicted how many seeds would be in a pumpkin. Any guesses? 

Here are the results (and the surprised faces!):

59 seeds was the final count! 

On Thursday we had a pumpkin tasting! We tasted pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin seeds. You can tell from the pictures if they like pumpkin or not. Haha! We graphed our favorites while we were tasting! 

We had a great time this week in the science lab!!
