It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's............Spaghetti Squash???

When we first showed these to the class and asked, "What do you think these are?" it was interesting to see how they used their schema to make a guess!!!

They are in fact, Spaghetti Squash.  

Did you know that Spaghetti Squash is a fruit???

We worked together to prepare the Spaghetti Squash to cook in the oven.  First we have to wash the squash.  Then we have to cut the squash in half.  After, we have to take the seeds out.

We then put olive oil, salt and pepper on the Spaghetti Squash. 

Finally, we put the Spaghetti Squash on a baking sheet and placed them in the oven for 40 minutes at 400 F.

Some students loved the squash and asked for seconds, while other students were more interested in exploring its texture!!!

While watching YouTube videos on how to cook Spaghetti Squash, one student suggested that we "plant the seeds like flower seeds."  So this week, we will be planting the seeds and observing if/how they grow!!! Stay tuned...!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
