If your family makes a yearly ritual out of a visit to the pumpkin patch, your child is probably well aware of the differences that exist between one pumpkin and another. This activity asks her to explore the discrepancies between two pumpkins a little closer: through observations and measurement. Not only will this experiment in observation boost her attention to detail, but she'll get practice with the concepts of compare and contrast, too.
What You Need:
- At least 2 pumpkins of different sizes (large and small)
- Knife to cut pumpkin
- Large spoon to scoop out seeds
- Large bowl for seeds
- Notebook (or pre-printed data sheet)
- Pencil or pen
- Crayons
- Measuring tape
