Pumpkin Investigations

Today, we have had so much fun investigating our pumpkin!

We began by asking the question, "Do pumpkins sink or float?"

11 people predicted sink and 11 predicted float. Mrs. Burnett and I also made predictions.

Next, we tested out our predictions!





We could not believe that our HUGE pumpkin floated!

Next, we cut open our pumpkin and began investigating the inside!

Lastly, we decided to count the number of seeds inside of our pumpkin! If you can tell by the size of our pumpkin, it is huge! A few students made predictions guessing 100, 153, 1000, and many more. We decided to line our seeds up by tens to make counting easier.





Our grand total for seeds was 513!!! We could not believe it!

We have had such a fun day while exploring and investigating our pumpkin!
