Pumpkin Study

For our Autumn Nature Study series, we studied pumpkins. We went to the pumpkin patch and picked our own, then brought them home to study. We examined the outside, thumped them, weighed them, sketched them, then cut them open.

We examined how the seeds were attached to the flesh by the gooey, stringy matter inside...sort of like an umbilical cord! Embree was not impressed!

We examined and drew the seeds



Brice was determined to put the pumpkin back together!!

Then Reeves was in charge of roasting the seeds...one of his favorite snacks.

Embree was tasked with roasting the flesh...

Finally, we used the roasted pumpkin to make cookies. A fun day!
