Pumpkin Mania Time- Experimenting with Pumpkins!

Students had the opportunity during October to dive deeper into the pumpkins.  They each brought in a pumpkin, made estimates of seeds, and ultimately counted all seeds in the pumpkin.  The question was whether or not the size of a pumpkin had an impact on the amount of seeds the pumpkin produced.  Well, we learned that the bigger pumpkin doesn't necessarily have the most seeds.  Our results included evidence from the circumference of our pumpkin, size of stem, weight in kilograms (this is science after all), and number of seeds.  They had so much fun diving into that stinky pumpkin pulp!
