Vine. A vine is what the pumpkin grows on. Large parts of vine are what grow and hold the pumpkin itself, while smaller vines help to stabilize the plant as it grows.

Stem. The stem is the small part of vine that’s still attached to the pumpkin after it’s been cut off the vine.

Skin. The skin is the outer part of the pumpkin. The skin is smooth and tough to help protect the pumpkin fruit. You can cook and eat the skin along with the pumpkin flesh.

Flesh. The part attached to the skin. This is the bit that gets cooked to use in soups, curries, stews, baking and more.

Pulp. Inside a pumpkin you will find a thick, slimy substance called pulp! The pulp holds the seeds and is what you scoop out when you make Jack O’lanterns!

Seeds. Inside the pulp, you find the seeds! They’re large white, flat seeds that many people will separate from the pulp to cook and eat!

You can send this pumpkin worksheet home with students or work together in class as a group! We love to do worksheets like this together as a group and watch students work together to find the answers.
