Wednesday, we decided it would be neat to explore what the inside of our squash and gourds look like. Dylan loved this idea and eagerly watched me cut the guard in half and together we made predictions about what it would look like. He thought it would be yellow in the inside and not hollow. When we opened it up we found that it was orange at had lots of seeds. Eliza, Hannah, and Max joined us to examine, count and then remove the seed from the squash with forks. This project was harder than it sounded because there were so many seeds! It was neat to see each student’s reaction. Max said the area around the seed, “looked like spaghetti.” Dylan was surprised that the inside of the pumpkin felt wet. We opened up a squash as well and saw the seeds were the same shape but slightly smaller. It was a neat comparison. We can’t want to look at more vegetables next week!
