2nd Grade Gourd Experiment

We reviewed the steps of the Scientific Method that we have been using all year.  Then we made a hypothesis about how many seeds were in 4 different gourds and what they looked like on the inside.  Next I cut each gourd in half and the students worked in small groups to sort and count the seeds. The students then recorded the actual number of seeds and drew what the gourds looked like on the inside.  Then we met to talk about our results and draw some conclusions: 1.The larger gourds had more seeds than the smaller gourds.  2. The larger gourds had larger seeds. I am drying the seeds and will plant them next year so we have more gourds.
