Hands On Pumpkin Exploration Sparks Scientific Discovery at Rolling Hills

Kindergarten students at Rolling Hills in Ms. Sorgie's class recently stepped into the role of scientists during an investigation into pumpkins. The young learners explored the pumpkin life cycle to develop a foundational understanding of how plants grow.

Working together, the students examined the physical characteristics of pumpkins by measuring height and counting outer ridges. The class also conducted experiments to test whether the pumpkins would float in water.

The lesson concluded with a hands on study of the interior structure. Students scooped out and observed the seeds inside, gaining practical experience with early scientific concepts and observation techniques.
