There's Math in Growing Pumpkins?
by Marguerite Samples
This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout.

The overarching theme is that many skills we use in one content area spill over into others in this introductory lesson in STEAM.
