The Great Pumpkin Investigation

The day before Halloween we investigated pumpkins.  We each received a little mini booklet and were sent off into groups to measure out the pumpkins in a variety of ways.  
How tall and what is the diameter of the pumpkin?

Can your pumpkin float or does it sink?

How many seeds are in your pumpkin?





We found the best way to count the seeds was grouping them into groups of 10.


We were so amazed at how many seeds are actually in a pumpkin.


If you are interested in using this mini-booklet you can get it here.
