Pumpkin Dissection

Following our Dress Up in Words presentation the 5th grade dissected gourds. The kids worked through the science process incorporating all of the skills they have learned. They measured the mass by using triple beam balances along with seeing if they would sink or float. The last step was to cut open the pumpkin (we did this for them) and pull out the guts and count the seeds.
