Three girls wanted to investigate the question above. We spent a lot of time discussing pumpkin seeds and counting the seeds from "Jack" (the pumpkin involved in the "rotten pumpkin experiment"). The girls made surveys and asked their classmates (and others) whether they thought the acorn squash and "long-neck" would have seeds. There was much anticipation as I cut them in half. Some children were surprised to see seeds and they enjoyed picking the seeds out.
