![]() ![]() Have you ever tried any decomposition activity!? If NO, then pick a pumpkin from your garden and get ready to decompose it using simple instructions from this hands-on science decomposition experiment. Do you want to learn what those fascinating experiments are!? Then, you have to continue reading our post until end. I am sure kids will fall in love with the experiments and demand the parents to repeat them again and again. Pumpkins represent the symbol of fall fun and kids love to play with them, and that is the reason we have come up with best and fun pumpkin science experiments. These super cool pumpkin science experiments let your little kids to think like a little scientist and encourages them to make their own analysis and questions on the science concepts they are working with. For the inquisitive kids of all ages, these easy and cool experiments offer a great time to explore pumpkin science in a fun and exciting way. ![]() These experiments also build a bridge between science and art activities that teach a variety of simple and complex scientific concepts to the young scientists in our home or school. ![]() Record the approximate number of seeds on the chart above.Today, we are going to combine ‘Science’ and ‘Fall’ together to fascinate kids with a wonderful list of pumpkin science experiments.When all the seeds are counted out on squares, as a group count by 5s to 100 (or by 10s) and group those seeds.After the seeds have dried for a day or two, pile them on the tables and ask children to count groups of five seeds (or ten if your students are able) and place them on a square of paper.Print their guesses on the bottom of the chart above.Children guess how many seeds are in the pumpkin.Some children will not want to do this and others will love it. During work stations time, students take turns picking the seeds out of the pumpkin and putting them on cookie sheets to dry.Cut the pumpkin in half and repeat the process.Print their guesses on the first chart.Tell the students there are seeds in the pumpkin and have them estimate how many seeds are in the pumpkin.Record their words on a chart similar to the one on the left.Give children time to touch, smell, and look at the outside of the pumpkin.Did more children make pumpkins 3 blocks wide or did more children make pumpkins 6 blocks wide? As a group, count how many students made their pumpkin 3 blocks wide, how many made pumpkins 4 blocks wide, etc.Students tape their pumpkin above the correct number of blocks on the graph.Students print their number on their pumpkin.Students lay Unifix™ blocks across their pumpkins and count how many blocks wide their pumpkin is.Students cut a pumpkin shape any size they want out of their piece of orange paper then glue the brown stem on their pumpkin.make a graph on a piece of chart paper similar to the one below for students to tape their pumpkins on.Unifix™ blocks (one-inch blocks that hook together).brown rectangles about 1-inch x 2 inches (stems).Save the bottom part of the chart to record the number of seeds in the pumpkin.įollow up lesson – Pumpkin width graph Materials:.Have the group of children count the blocks and then record the answer on the chart.After the children have had a chance to think and talk about it, wrap a string around the pumpkin, cut it when it meets and then measure how long the string is with the blocks.Ask the students if they can think of a way to measure how many Unifix™ blocks it would take to go around the middle of the pumpkin (show them the middle).Pumpkin Lesson Plan 2 – Measuring the pumpkin’s circumference… Record the answer on a chart like the one below.Build a tower of Unifix™ blocks from the floor to the tip of the pumpkin’s stem.Have the children sit on the carpet and tell them that you are going to measure how tall the large pumpkin.Pumpkin Lesson Plan 1 – Measuring the pumpkin’s height… ![]() Include pumpkin stories, cooking pumpkin muffins and pumpkin Geometry Jacks in your kindergarten lesson plans to keep your students interested. When students are working at stations, they take turns holding the pumpkins to compare how heavy they are and to feel the texture of the pumpkin shells. Put the pumpkins in the science center for a few days before using them for teaching to give the children plenty of time to touch them and ask questions. Purchase a large pumpkin and a few smaller ones in various sizes to provide your students with science and math experiences. ![]()
