The students have measured every part of the pumpkins, now they are finally ready to study what is inside. This week, the students learned what a diagram is, and created a diagram of a pumpkin. We cut open the pumpkins and identified the skin, stem, seeds, pulp, and flesh. The students then created a a diagram of a pumpkin using those five parts. As the students were creating the diagram, each student helped to scoop out the seeds so that they could compare their estimates with the actual number of seeds. Their reactions were very different! Some students couldn't wait to dig in, and others were a little grossed out! It was fun!
