It is time to start picking your pumpkins!  A classic activity is to carve your pumpkin, but we will be doing something a little different in this JAM.  Have you ever thought about all the goopy insides of the pumpkin you scoop out?  What is it made of?

The pumpkin plant produces the familiar orange fruit we love to carve.  Because the plant is alive, there are parts of the plant that are vital to keeping it alive long enough to produce a pumpkin.  Can you think of other pumpkin-like plants that grow and produce their fruit in Autumn?

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
