Pumpkin Seed Count
The Cycle 2 Class once again did the "Pumpkin Seed Count" project. The students always seem to be amazed with how many seeds are in a pumpkin. This year our pumpkin weighed 9lbs. The students then estimated how many seeds were in the pumpkin. Some estimates were low and one student was actually quite close. Sean estimated that there were about 511 seeds
. Our pumpkin actually had 550 seeds! The students decided that it would be easier to count the seeds if we put them in piles of 10. That worked out quite nicely since we had nice, even piles.
