How many seeds are in a pumpkin, children will have to guess then we will cut open a pumpkin to see.

• Science:  What is a pumpkin?  Discuss the difference between fruit and vegetable.

Have students describe the cycle of the pumpkin by writing and drawing.   There are several different types of pumpkins but they are all pumpkins.  Discuss the physical attributes height, weight, color and ridges of different pumpkins.

How does popcorn pop?  Pop a bag of popcorn and explain water is storedin a small circle of soft starch in each kernel.  As the kernel is heated, the water is heated and the droplet of moisture turns to steam and the steam builds up pressure until the kernel finally explodes.
• History:  Is corn completely native to America?  Who was the first to introduce corn to the world?
