PUMPKIN PHYSICS

DALLAS ARBORETUM

Saturday, October 19, 2024  |  8:30 - 11:30am

Teachers of Grades K-8  |  3 hours of CPE 

It isn’t easy moving 100,000 pumpkins around to create our Pumpkin Village each year – especially when some of them weigh over 80 pounds! Join us in this workshop to learn how to incorporate elements of three-dimensional science instruction into your force and motion lessons. We will engage in science and engineering practices to determine how to move a pumpkin while using recurring themes and concepts like cause and effect to understand how catapults and parachutes work. Registration includes access to Autumn at the Arboretum after the workshop.
