First Grade studied the anatomy of a pumpkin. We learned about how a pumpkin grows and the different parts of a pumpkin: stem and leaves, blossom end, tendril, skin, pumpkin shell, pulp, cavity, seeds, seed coat, nut, ribs and fibrous strands. We cut a pumpkin open and looked at the inside. We talked about the different uses of the pulp and seeds. |
