We have a pumpkin experiment in the works. Last week, the children were very curious about what was inside a pumpkin, so Mrs. O'Connor cut our pumpkin open at the top. The pumpkin had a interesting scent and ooey gooey stuff and seeds inside.
We didn't bother to clean out the pumpkin (who likes that anyway?? ewwww). Everybody took turns filling up our pumpkin with dirt. Don't be concerned with all the nails you see hammered into the pumpkin - that was a completely different activity!
When the pumpkin was all full of dirt, we took it outside to the porch to water it. Plants need water and sunshine to grow, you know. I think I've mentioned before, using a squirt bottle is a great way to water plants without overwatering. Oh yes, we all took turns.
We think our pumpkin seeds will sprout right through the dirt. What do you think?
