Science Questions

This project is all about asking questions around how pumpkins grow.  Plant scientists are always asking questions like...

  • What is the best way to grow a pumpkin?
  • How fast do pumpkins grow?
  • Do all pumpkins grow in the same way?
  • How much room do pumpkins need to grow?
  • Do pumpkins like a certain kind of soil?
  • Which pumpkins are good to eat?
  • Are there some pumpkins that are less tasty to bugs?

As you look at how our Pumpkin Project pumpkins are growing, what questions might you have? When you come and visit the pumpkin field, you will be looking at a bunch of different pumpkins and deciding which ones will be the best for a paintable or craft-type pumpkin.  What information do you need to know to be able to do this?
