    […] Set up a pumpkin investigation tray the next time you carve a pumpkin! Even if you don’t carve pumpkins, this science tray is perfecter fall learning. Makes a great hands-on fall science activity too. We decided to carve up a big pumpkin this weekend after reading the book Pumpkin Jack. We thought we would carve our pumpkin early this month to see what would happen to the pumpkin over time. After cleaning out all the insides, I took a look at the leftovers and decided a pumpkin investigation tray was in order! Perfect pumpkin science and Fall STEM! […]
