This field trip introduces students to the full life cycle of a pumpkin—from seed to harvest—while exploring plant parts, growth stages, and environmental factors that impact development.
Students will also learn about the critical role of pollinators like bees and butterflies, and why they’re essential not just for pumpkins, but for many fruits and vegetables. Along the way, they’ll observe different pumpkin varieties and see how they vary in shape, size, and color.
