Our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

October 12th, 2009 Tagged digital blue microscope, science, smilebox

We had a great day at the pumpkin patch today! It was cold, but we were still able to conduct our science experiments, explore the corn maze, eat lunch, and pick the perfect pumpkin.

Back at school, we estimated and weighed our pumpkins, drew a picture of a jack-o-lantern, and got out our Digital Blue microscope. We were able to examine the parts of the pumpkin flower and vine. It was very interesting! We took snapshots and included them in our Smilebox creation.

Don’t forget to check out our pumpkin patch field trip stories. We scanned them and added them to our wikispace student pages.

I love your pumpkin patch stories on your wiki! Very creative. I like the illustrations too.
Your trip to the pumpkin patch looks fun. It makes me hungry for some pumpkin pie. I like how you put the video with the picture in your Smilebox Movie.

Dear Wonderful Ones,

I watched your video and looked at the photographs of your trip. I especially enjoyed the pictures of the baby green pumpkins – not orange yet! – and the little tendrils on the vines. Some children have curly hair that makes little tendrils in the back, and I think that is so pretty.
Will you make Jack-O-Lanterns later with your pumpkins?

Thanks for sharing the fun.

Your friend,

Ms. Brown
