Describing the properties of objects is an important learning objective in science. The little scientists of Division 8 are developing this important scientific skill by using their five senses to develop a detailed description of our class pumpkin.<\/p>\n
We described what our pumpkin looked<\/strong> like: orange, round, small, short, rind, stem, ribs. We shook the pumpkin and heard<\/strong> it rattle. We took off the lid and looked inside: pulp, seeds, stringy goo. We smelled<\/strong> the pumpkin: phew! We touched<\/strong> the pulp and counted the seeds. Finally, we cooked the seeds and tasted<\/strong> them: delicious! [metaslider id=4118]<\/p>\n We were surprised by the number of seeds that were in our pumpkin. We found out that there were 601 seeds inside our small pumpkin. We learned that if a pumpkin is dark orange and has a lot of ribs<\/strong>, it has been growing longer and will have more seeds<\/strong>. We also learned that the stem of a pumpkin is called a peduncle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ask me to describe our pumpkin for you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Describing the properties of objects is an important learning objective in science.
