pumpkins and science
Greg,
You didn't say how long a time-frame for the project or the age of the
experimenters.
Someone a year or two back grew 3 pumpkin seedlings, feeding/watering
one w/ water, one with Coca-cola, and one with milk. I remember the coke
punk got the first ant attack.
How about procuring several varieties of pumpkins - jackos, pie
pumpkins, cinderellas, jack-be-littles, big max, etc. Measure height,
width, circumference in two directions, and weight. Cut into each
(removing a section? cutting in half?) in order to measure the walls,
then try to draw conclusions on why some weigh heavier, some lighter.
Good luck!
Kathie
