Pumpkin Science Lab

As we wrap up Halloween and all things pumpkin  our second graders enjoyed a fabulous science lab with Mrs. Bryant on Halloween day! 

First, she shared a fun and festive pumpkin story with the classes. 

Next, the students discussed and labeled pumpkin parts on their worksheets. 

Then, we made predictions about the pumpkins’ weight with and with out seeds, if the pumpkin would sink or float and the height and circumference of the pumpkins. Whew...lots to think about! Then, we got right to work to find out if our predictions were correct! 

Last, the students dug out all the seeds and pulp to count the seeds! What a great science lab full of hands-on learning! Happy Halloween!
