Halloween Science Ideas
Planting Pumpkin Seeds
After cutting a pumpkin and
examining the seeds,
give each child a resealable plastic bag,
a paper towel, and a handful of pumpkin seeds.
Then guide them in the following steps:
1. Dip the paper towel in
water and wring out the excess.
2. Fold the damp paper towel
to fit in bag.
3. Place pumpkin seeds on top
of towel and seal bag.
Put each child's name on bag
and have them use thumbtack
to attach their pumpkin seeds to a bulletin board to make a growing
science display. Check the seeds daily and discuss or chart changes.
(Tip: To keep paper towels moist, add 1/2 inch water to the bottom
of each bag. The paper towel will wick up the water to the seeds.)
Spiders
Explain that spiders spin webs from silk that they create.
Webs are made to catch insects.
Spiders then eat the insects. Tell the class that they will become
web hunters
and will hunt for webs in the classroom.
