Measuring Pumpkins



We had a fun Friday even before the parade and party! We measured our mini pumpkins in a variety of ways to bring our science and math skills together. We used regular scales and balance scales for the weight; cubes for height; and a tape measure for the circumference of our pumpkins. We estimated first before measuring. We also compared our pumpkins’ statistics with each others to come up with some subtraction sentences. We also tested our pumpkins to see if they would sink or float.
