Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

The past two weeks, our class has been using their five senses with pumpkins.  Here are a few pictures of our busy scientists......

Our scientists used this book to make observations, predictions, and record information on our pumpkins.

Describing the way the seeds felt. This friend said, "slimy!"

  We made predictions on the amount of seeds in our pumpkin. Once predictions were made, we grouped the seeds in sets of ten. Our pumpkin had 213 seeds!

We used our sense of touch and smell with the pumpkin. 

The Five Senses

We enjoyed using our sense of touch with "feely bags." Students wore goggles to cover their eyes and were asked to use describing words as they felt the object in the bag. Students had fun making educated guesses on what was in the bag.
