2nd Grade Scientists

The 2nd grade scientists had a great time investigating pumpkins. They examined the outsides and insides of the pumpkins and recorded their findings. They weighed their pumpkins, measured the height and circumference, and even gave them names!

They worked to prove the theory that the number of lines on the outside of a pumpkin determines the number of seeds inside. They removed the seeds and counted by 2s, 5s, and 10s to see if the theory is correct - and it is! The pumpkin with the most lines (Fat Freddy) also had the most seeds!
