Do pumpkins sink or float? Hmmmmm… as scientists, we were wondering what happens to a pumpkin when we put it in water. Will it sink to the bottom or float like a boat?
We each came up with a hypothesis (fancy science word for “my guess”) and drew our guess. Then we observed what happened when the pumpkin went into the water.
“Pumpkins float!”
After observing, we drew the results.
Challenge activities at home:
Try seeing if a white pumpkin or other types of gourds will sink or float in water.
What else can you put in the water? Will it sink or float?
