What's in the pumpkin?

Today we had a pumpkin exploration:

What do you think is inside the pumpkin?

Kayle said, "Challah."

Marnie said, "Toys"

"It looks like watermelon", said Kayle.

There were seeds inside.

We used spoons to scoop out the seeds.

Marnie tried using the tongs. 

Mendel scooped a lot of seeds.

We counted 10 pieces of pumpkin.

We washed the seeds and left them to dry.

The roast pumpkin...

...tasted delicious.

Our brave tasters :)

More fun from today:

We have a basket to collect new materials.

Marnie had a look inside and took the foam boxes to build with.

Our leaf experiment: 

We collected some leaves from the playground.

Kayle chose a big leaf.  She stands tall as a tree and drops the leaf.

We watch it fall to the ground.

Mendel stood on a chair and watched his leaf drop down.

We saw some of the leaves flip and dance on their way down.

We took a big leaf and small leaf, and wondered which one would land on the ground first.

Some children thought the big one, some the small one and some the at same time.

Henny tried dropping both leaves together.

We noticed the big leaf touched the ground first.

Experimenting was fun!  And so was hypothesizing!
