After diving deep into States of Matter during their first science unit, the 2nd graders were super excited to participate in a pumpkin exploration! In groups on day one, students observed and described characteristics of the exterior and interior of their pumpkins. Prior to day two, heat was applied, and on day two the students explored, observed, and recorded the changes. Prior to day three, the pumpkin parts were placed in a freezer. On day three, the students observed, explored, and recorded the changes they noticed. It was a perfect pumpkin project!
