Pumpkins: Measure circumference, height, weight, (measurement); this was not conducted last year but fits great with Theme
Water Bottle Rocket Shoot – Choice of 3 different rockets to shoot; measure and record amount of water used and amount of pressure input – record in a table – the table can later be used for data analysis and graphing;this was not conducted last year but weather permitting it would be a great addition! Bottle Rockets could be decorated with leaves, turkeys, or whatever Fall theme you wanted!
Dice Games - adapt for grade level to practice basic facts;I have a book of math games with dice. We'll play "math bowling" with dice in class soon.
