added 5-31-01 Original Author Unknown
Measure a whole watermelon with string,
math links, etc. Ask the children if they can find something in the
room that is larger, smaller, or the same size as the watermelon.
ex: is the circumference of a 4 year old's head the same as the
circumference of the watermelon?
How Many Seeds?

Give each child a slice of watermelon.
Have them predict how many seeds are in their slice. After all the
watermelon is eaten, give each child some small portion cups. They
can count their seeds placing 10 in each cup.
