This is a fun addition to your math curriculum for Halloween week, or it may help you spice up a science unit on pumpkins! Students measure the height of a pumpkin with cubes, the circumference with a string, the weight with a scale, and test if their pumpkin will sink or float. This could be done in a large group or center format. Hope your little pumpkins have a blast with this hands-on exploration activity!
