Learning How Pumpkins Grow using Coding
by Marguerite Samples
Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Children will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life cycle. Then there are coding (unplugged) activities to reinforce the science of the life cycle. This is a great lesson to introduce sequencing that is found in many content areas.
