Pumpkin Investigation

This week we learned all about pumpkins to help us prepare for attending the pumpkin patch.  Today, we investigated the outside of  a pumpkin. We did several activities to find out a little more information. We discovered:

• The amount of lines a pumpkin has tells you how many rows of seeds it has inside
• The color of a pumpkin can tell you how old it is
• Pumpkins can FLOAT! They DO NOT SINK!
• Like an apple, a pumpkin also grows a flower (the flowers are edible)
• The orange, stringy, slimy, stuff inside is called: pumpkin pulp
