Students can plant pumpkin seeds, discuss the needs of a pumpkin plant, and make observations as their plant grows.

Allow creative expression on the plant part pages through the use of tissue paper and construction paper.

Students become pumpkin scientists by measuring, weighing, and testing sink or float.
