Pumpkin fun
Turn your fall pumpkin into a fun, hands-on learning activity! 🎃
Try one or more of these ideas together:
• Predict how many seeds are inside, then count them
• Measure the pumpkin’s height and circumference
• See whether it sinks or floats
• Explore and describe the different textures
• Compare the sizes, shapes, colors, and weights of several pumpkins
• Use the pumpkin to bake muffins, bread, or another fall treat
Younger children can practice counting, sorting, and describing. Older children can record their predictions, measurements, and results.
A little curiosity can turn an ordinary pumpkin into a family science experiment, and a whole lot of fun.
