Today was a great day to do science experiments with a fall pumpkin! We weighed and measured our pumpkin. We also measured the circumference of our pumpkin with a cool piece of yarn! I offered a differentiated response sheet for my two groups so that I could meet the needs of one group and challenge the other group.
When I pulled the goop and seeds out of the pumpkin, my kiddies were making faces and saying, "Ewwwww!!" When I sent the top around for the kiddies to examine, they were laughing and saying, "Wow! It smells good! It's such a pretty color! It's slimy on my fingers!"
They really had a lot of fun and a ton of learning going on this morning in Room A-1! Tomorrow, we'll plant the seeds so that we can grow another pumpkin plant! We'll also work to discover if a different pumpkin will sink or float!
Thanks, stay in touch and have a great Thursday!
