Pumpkin Investigations

Second graders picked out pumpkins during their field trip to Cedar Circle. Before taking these pumpkins home, students participated in a pumpkin investigation. Each scientist recorded several observations including how tall their pumpkin was using Unifix cubes, how many lines their pumpkin had, and how much their pumpkin weighed. Students also recorded questions that they had about their pumpkins, such as, "Do the lines on a pumpkin tell the age of the pumpkin, just like with a tree?"
