We read a story about a family looking for the perfect pumpkin for Halloween. This family loved to roast pumpkin seeds after carving their Jack-O-Lantern. They wondered how they could select a pumpkin that would give them lots of seeds to roast! Each family member had a different idea as to what might affect the amount of seeds inside. We chose our research question based on one of these ideas.
We discovered that the size of the pumpkin had no affect on the amount of seeds inside. There was no significant difference in the amount of seeds in the small, medium and large pumpkins. Here are a few pictures from the investigation.
What I liked most about the holloween science investigation was sticking my hands inside the pumpkin and pulling out the seeds and gunk.
