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. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the concept of math into the "A" portion of STEAM. The overarching theme is that many skills we use in one content area spill over into others in this introductory lesson in STEAM.
