Recently, our preschoolers conducted some investigatory "Pumpkin Science" work on the pumpkins that they learned about this past fall. They set up a pumpkin research area in the corner of the playground to monitor what happens to pumpkins as they break down. Many different sizes, varieties, and shapes of pumpkins were used for this experiment. Way to go Preschool Pumpkin scientists!
