Pumpkin Investigations for PreschoolersPumpkins bring many opportunities for exploration into the preschool classroom. My STEM Pumpkin Investigation Pack will guide you through each step of the exploration. Each stage invites children to create a hypothesis or make a prediction about each investigation, and then record the results. This investigation may take 1-2 weeks depending on how many investigations you carry out per day. Projects that last multiple days help students to develop historical thinking and attentiveness.
