Today we had a great time exploring pumpkins.
-We made a prediction about whether or not it would float and then tested it.
-We cut open pumpkins and looked inside.  We saw the RIND, PULM, FLESH and SEEDS.
-We discussed the difference between WAIT and WEIGHT.  Then we weighed our pumpkins.
-We learned what CIRCUMFERENCE means and measured the circumference of our pumpkins.
-We counted the ribs of the pumpkins.
-We pulled out the seeds and counted them. Boy there were a ton!  We managed by putting the seeds in groups of 5 or 10 then skip counting them to add them up.
