Pumpkin Investigation

During Let's Find Out in science we read through our magazine to find out about the life cycle of a pumpkin. Its fun to try to read it with a buddy!

Then we conducted an investigation with our pumpkins! We had 3 groups of students with a pumpkin. We had to stack unifix cubes to find out how tall our pumpkin was. Then we had to count the lines on our pumpkin. We had to predict whether our pumpkin would sink or float and then we had to test it out in the sink! We were shocked to find that it floats!

The best part of our investigation was predicting how many seeds we had in our pumpkin.We had to decide which pumpkin we thought was going to have the most and why. THEN we got to dig out the seeds and gooey goodness from our pumpkin! To help us with counting the seeds, we had to put them in groups of ten! 

Liam is hard at work counting out 10 seeds and putting them in groups of 10. We made circles on our paper to make sure we don't confuse the groups! We made our predictions on a video. See below!
