Pumpkin Nature Study
There are several traditional pumpkin studies here on the Handbook of Nature Study:
- Autumn Series Pumpkin Study (2009) - printable notebook page available
- Crop Plants - Pumpkins -(seeds, vines, fruit)
- A new idea is to take a nature walk at a pumpkin farm. (October 2013 Newsletter has a Pumpkin Farm Journal Page.)
Pumpkin Observations-Colors and Textures
- Use your magnifying lens to examine the parts of a pumpkin-skin, seeds, slime, stem. Record your observations, including its texture
- Use your crayons or markers to find just the right shade for the outside skin of your pumpkin. Create a nature journal page.
- Take photos of your pumpkin from all angles
Don't forget there is a Pumpkin Farm Journal Page and a Colors and Texture Grid Study in the October Newsletter.
