Pumpkin Science!

Scientists used the Scientific Method to conduct their first pumpkin experiment!
1. We asked a question: Will the pumpkins sink or float in water? 2. We made and recorded  hypotheses 3. We conducted the experiment 4. We observed the pumpkins 5. We made a conclusion 6. We reported out and recorded our results.

In our second science experiment, we asked the question, "How tall is our pumpkin?" We used Unifix Cubes as a measure for our hypotheses and for conducting the experiment. We discovered that our pumpkin is 12 cubes tall and one friend's estimate was correct!

In the next experiment, we asked the question,  "How big around is our pumpkin?" We observed the pumpkin, formulated ideas and held it. We used string to show our estimates of the pumpkin's circumference.  We discovered that our pumpkin's circumference is 29" around and while no one had the correct estimate, some were very close!
