Last week, Mrs. Lucking’s kinders investigated pumpkins. Students started their investigation by describing the pumpkin. Was it bumpy or smooth? Was it small, medium or large? Next, students made predictions about whether the pumpkin would sink or float. After dropping the pumpkin into a tote of water, many students were surprised to find it could float! Students were even more excited about pumpkins after watching a video of giant pumpkins that were used for boats! Last, students guessed how many seeds were inside the pumpkin. After opening up our pumpkin and counting the seeds, we discovered…there were just TOO many seeds to count. We lost count at 267!
