Mrs. Martyn's 3rd grade class conducted a fun and hands-on Pumpkin Investigation to explore the properties of matter using real pumpkins. Students worked like scientists—making predictions and recording actual measurements for their pumpkin’s height, width, mass, and density. They observed and described the color, texture, and odor. They then determined whether the pumpkin would sink or float and identified its state of matter. Finally, students guessed how many seeds were inside before counting them to find the real number. The activity encouraged observation, comparison, and critical thinking while connecting fall fun with science learning.

Mrs. Noll’s science class were introduced to the 3 states of matter in Science. We combined solid (sherbet), and liquid (7-up). We then closely observed the sound and bubbles the gas being released made during the combination.

Students in Mrs. Dickinson's and Mrs. McCormick's classes had an exciting and hands-on Science experience as they continued exploring all about matter! Students investigated everyday objects: a ball, paper clip, and pencil eraser to examine their properties. Working together in teams, they discussed and recorded observations about each object, just like scientists!
Using balances, students measured the mass, tested for magnetism using magnets, and observed whether the objects would sink or float in water. Our scientists also compared temperatures by testing three different water samples: room temperature water, water that had been sitting outside, and chilled water from the fridge.
Just like real scientists, students asked questions, made predictions, and used tools to measure and observe matter. It was an engaging Fun Science Experience full of discovery, teamwork, and applying science skills in meaningful ways!
