Pumpkin Investigations

Last week we spent a lot of time investigating pumpkins and in so doing explored many kindergarten standards in reading, writing, mathematics and science.

We conducted an investigation exploring how tall our pumpkins are, how many seeds are inside,and  how many lines each pumpkin had. We also predicted if pumpkins float or sink and then found out! We then compared and drew detailed observations of our pumpkins. 

Explorations in literacy allowed us to create a book that we can each read based on the life cycle of a pumpkin.
