With fall in full swing, pumpkins are a great way to get young people interested in science and learning more about nutrition and local food systems. 

You can find many different types of pumpkins throughout the state at farmers markets, orchards or roadside stands. They will vary in size and color depending on their purpose. Pumpkins range from small decorator pieces to pie pumpkins to large carving jack-o-lanterns. It may be fun for younger youth to make comparisons and talk about uses for pumpkins before choosing one to take home.
