Description
Want to get outside and investigate pumpkins?
Real-life application of skills are really important to students making connections to math skills in the classroom. This lab covers both math and science skills of circumference, diameter, rotations and density. It does require an outdoor space such as a blacktop or track or a long hallway.
* I did not buy the pumpkins that I used. I sent out an email to parents and told kids about it in class. All pumpkins used were donated!
