Pumpkin Investigation

Its... Halloween season! And our children at SES are super pumped to be doing a lot of Halloween activities. Today we did a few jobs. We predicted whether a pumpkin will float or sink and these are the some of the predictions that the children made (we compared it to a small basketball and a few coins):

Juleah: the pennies were different kind of shape. The ball is round, that's why it floats

Chase: the coins are made out of metal

Gavin: if you put holes in the pumpkin, it will sink

Rocco: the seeds inside are making the pumpkin float

                  Hmmm.... interesting predictions!


We also did a pumpkin estimation! We had two sizes of pumpkins, a small one and a big one! Can you guess which one has more seeds?

What are the children counting by?
