My co-worker found this pumpkin growing experiment on Pinterest. I think it is great and am going to try it with my first graders on Monday. I created a few Science Journal pages for this project. The download is available for *FREE* on my TpT store. Please share your experiences with this project. I will have more pictures and anecdotes as the seeds germinate and the students interact with the pumpkin.The Pumpkin Project uses the scientific method during a grow pumpkins in a pumpkin experiment. This project includes:
*Hypothesis page
*"Pumpkin Observation: Day__" pages for journals or booklets
*Evaluation page.
Students pages include fill in the blanks, free response and illustrated responses.
I start the experiment on October 1, but it can be started in September or November as well. Seeds generally take 4-7 days to germinate. Pumpkins grow to full size in approximately 120 days.
Vocabulary in experiment: hypothesis, predict, germinate, observation, evaluation, confirmed, experiment
