Science with Pumpkins

In light of the fall season, we will be using pumpkins in our science lessons.  We are learning about the five senses, so we will use pumpkins to talk about what we can see, smell, hear, touch, and taste.  We will cut open the pumpkins to see and feel the insides.  I also hope to cook a few pumpkin recipes with the class so that we can use our sense of taste while also learning basic kitchen skills.  We will be making mini pumpkin pies, pumpkin seeds, and pumpkin bread.  I have posted a three of these recipes online, and I encourage you to help your child make some of these yummy treats at home.
