In this activity students in cooperative groups search,
suggest, question, predict, and estimate the number of
seeds in a set of pumpkins. They will combine mathematical
procedures and scientific observation to learn more about
this seasonal delight. http://www.sedl.org/scimath/compass/v01n02/pumpkin.html |

A great pumpkin prank |

In 1998, a giant pumpkin's mysterious appearance atop
Cornell's landmark McGraw Tower made national news. The
McGraw Pumpkin was one of the longest and most charmingly
mysterious pranks ever inflicted on the campus community.

of Bill and Debbie Wickham. http://www.news.cornell.edu/campus/pumpkin_tale.html |
