Third graders in Mrs. Glenn’s class explored the phenomena that perhaps bigger pumpkins would have more seeds inside of them. We took data and made hypotheses about what we thought. Then, we took 4 pumpkins of various sizes and counted the seeds inside. We found that the biggest pumpkin had the least amount of seeds and the smallest pumpkin had the most seeds! But the other two middle sized pumpkins did not follow that pattern. We decided that perhaps the size of the pumpkin doesn’t determine the number of seeds inside.
They had so much fun being scientists and exploring this question!
