A LETTER FROM CAMP

October 30th, 2015

Camp Director: Mrs. Cronce

STEM Pumpkin Investigation

We used a lot of STEM procedures
(Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math) this week with our
pumpkin investigations. We learned
how to count our pumpkins ribs,
measure their circumference and
weight, make predictions, record
data, and estimate.
Whew!
The
investigation that shocked us most is
that pumpkins really DO float! After a
week of researching with them, we
took our pumpkins for a little walk
outside and started our own pumpkin
patch with the other first graders!
Thanks to the camp counselors who
were able to help make this research
happen, as well as Mr. Howard for
donating the pumpkins.
Sharing a toast with my young
authors!
