When we returned form the pumpkin patch, Julian, Talia, and Evan used markers, paper, and clip boards to make observational drawings of their pumpkins. Just like scientists do, the children carefully observed the pumpkins and represented the shape, colors, and parts of the pumpkin. After drawing their pumpkins, the children added labels. The children used labels to identify the important parts of the pumpkin, such as, pumpkin, stem, ribs, skin, and even seeds. When asked if they could see the seeds, the children explained they were inside the pumpkin and that if we opened up the pumpkin we would be able to see them. This led us right to our next exploration- what is inside a pumpkin?
