We carved our pumpkin and saved all of the pumpkin seeds. Each one of us observed the bowl of seeds and estimated how many seeds came out of the pumpkin. We couldn’t believe that there were 433 seeds. Mr. Bartell roasted them with canola oil and salt. They tasted great!!
When we returned to school on Monday, the carved pumpkin was getting mushy and mold was growing. We learned a new word…decay. We placed the pumpkin outside our classroom window. Now we can watch how it changes and decays. Please leave a post explaining what you predict will happen to the pumpkin. What will it look like in a week? Will any wild creatures eat the pumpkin? Will it change color? We can’t wait to read everyone’s rotten predictions!!

I think that our pumpkin will get brown and black and mushy. And I think that it will have more mold in it. I think that the squirrels and chipmunks will come and leave bite marks all over it.
The pumpkin will rot and roll. I think it will grow more mold. I think that the eyes, nose, and mouth will decay and cave in.
i think a opossom will eat the pumpkyin
The pumpkin Iooks Iike it is mushy,brown and squirreIs wiII probIy eat it.
i think a opossum will eat it.
I think squirrels will eat it and fruit flies will come around it. It will get mushy, droopy and turn black.
I think that the pumpkin will get mushy and brown. I think that the squirrels will eat it like it ate mine last year.

I think it will look like it is in bad shape. For example, it will lots of dents in it. I think some squirls and chipmunks will take a bite of it. I predict it will be dirt color like brown. sincere Sofie B.
The pumpkin looks funny with its buck teeth and it has a weird black spot under its right eye. My brother says that it looks my pumpkin. It looks really moldy inside. Wow, its top fell in right after we said it would. ITS SO MUSHY!
1) It will get small and mushy
2) Yes a Chipmunk
3) Yes Because of the mold it will turn black, grey and green
The pumpkin is getting moldy… thank you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much for leaving it outside. Also thank you for not keeping it inside so it doesn’t get to mushy. You guys are the best teachers in school
I predict that next week the jack-o-lantern will be gone.
Thank you so so so so very much for buying the class a pumpkin. I enjoy talking the lingo ha ha I like that word lingo. Also on Thursday I will look at the pumpkin, I am excited to see how it changed and I am wondering if it will look smaller, did it shrink? well I I I I …………. will ….. find……….out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really LOVE Science and wish we could do it ALL day!. Love-Antonina
The black spot under its right eye makes it look like its crying. I wonder what it will look like when it shrinks a-lot and turns all black? It is really damaged because its decaying and animals have been eating it. One day I saw a squirrel eating it. So………………..what……………….will…………………..happen……………..next…………………..? NO REALLY, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The salted pumpkin seeds were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! They tasted like popcorn. NO REALLY, THEY TASTED LIKE POPCORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The tittle of the time for kids magazine “Rotten science” did not make sense because it was about the life cycle of a pumpkin.
