Where did all the matter (over 2, 000 pounds!) in the pumpkin come from? by Linda Cote

Here's what we figured out:

Matter - anything that takes up space and can be measured by its weight or mass.

Weight (or mass) - a measurement of how much matter is in an object.

I think it came from seeds because if it didn’t, it would not be able to grow. And if there’s no seed then the pumpkin would not be big at all because it won’t exist. And there would be no contest At all. It all comes down to the seed. The seed was also probably mutated. :D

I think that the mass comes from the plant or the seed because the seed starts the plant, and the plant gives the pumpkin a chance to live, and grow big the plant might just be the answer. But also sunlight and water is part of it because without water or sunlight it would have died because it needs water and sunlight. This is where I think it gets the mass. ;)

Where did all the matter in the pumpkin come from.

pajakn33 — 2025-10-01 14:48:06 UTC

1 the rime growing

2 the roots getting nutrients

3 the guts getting bigger

4 the stem getting longer

5 the seeds growing inside trying to spread pumpkins

6 the pumpkin getting water locked

alvarov33 — 2025-10-01 14:48:48 UTC

I think all the matter the pumpkin is from the water that got watered on it and the sunlight helped it get more to grow bigger and that’s what i think. 🎃

Where did all the matter in the pumpkins come from?

I think they got all that matter from watering when needed and not overwatering the pumpkin. Another way they might’ve gotten all that matter is from letting the pumpkin have some sunlight and sunlight also helps the pumpkin grow.

I think it became so big because they had really big seeds And that made the pumpkin grow so big so it had a lot of mass.

I think the matter comes from….

bassonp33 — 2025-10-01 14:49:11 UTC

The roots of the vines because they suck up nutrients from the ground.Then the vines transfer all of the nutrients to one pumpkin witch makes it super big

Tatum Men I think it comes from the seed because without the seed it would be nothing. It also takes sunlight and water to grow

I think you got all that mass because it got a lot of sunlight, water, and nutrients. Plus it probably got a lot of nutrients because the roots were probably really big

I think that all the matter came from how it was cared for, the conditions it was grown in, and when it was grown

I think the mass came from a seed that turned into a plant that turned into a pumpkin and then turned yellow, and then turned a big orange, healthy pumpkin. It weight 1 kilo which is 2000 pounds. I also needed a lot of sunlight and water and good soil.

I think that the matter came from all the seeds in the pumpkin and the plant the gut made the pumpkin giant by watering the and giving the pumpkin sunlight

I KNOW THIS

2025-10-01 16:20:57 UTC

The pumpkin grew so big because they gave it sunlight, food, water, and they took lot of care of the pumpkin. It is like feeding yourself you eat a lot you grow and gain weight but if you don’t you won’t be that healthy you won’t feel good.

Well first it was small and didn’t have a lot of pounds.

I think it all of the water, sunlight, and soil. All of that matter is from the seed.

The matter in the pumpkin came from what helped it grow. The more it grew the more matter was in it. The longer it grew, the larger it got. Because longer time means more time to take care of it. By doing things like keeping it warm, watering it, and making sure it doesn’t drown, or run out of water. Since this all helps the pumpkin grow the longer you do it the it grows. That’s why the pumpkin in August was way bigger the the one in July.

I think the matter came from Mother Nature. because it was outside a bunch.

How did the mass randomly come from? By Clayton O’connor

I think the mass came from

. sun

. water

. soil

. composting

2025-10-01 16:26:51 UTC

Well firstly I think all this matter came from the plant.

The pumpkin 🎃 could be a certain type of pumpkin that grows big?

But this pumpkin certainly looks big so I could see that there is so much leaves 🍁 and no other pumpkins growing.

Which leads me to believe that this pumpkin took everything, all dirt all soil everything including sunlight.

How is there so much matter in this pumpkin?

Reasons why it had so much matter

• First, it got lots of sunlight

• Second, it got lots of water

• Third it was growing for a while

• Fourth it had soil

• Fifth it had a fan to cool during the hottest parts of summer

• Sixth it was probably had plant food

I think all that matter came from giant pumpkin seeds

1# I think they got lots of water

2# Lots of shade/sun

3# lots of water/good soil

The pumpkin is very big but where did it all come from many it was the leaves or the seed the person bought or is it from the amount of water, the soil or is it just the seed of the pumpkin I think it was the seed of the pumpkin

mansyt33 — 2025-10-01 16:28:20 UTC

I think the matter came from how big it was. When it was just a seed it weighed basically nothing, but the more it grew it became 100 pounds, 200 pounds, 500 pounds, and eventually it became over 2,000 pounds! The people who grew that pumpkin must of took really good care of it. They must of watered it good, gotten it a good amount of sunlight, and needed space and shelter to grow! Matter is anything that takes up space and can be measured by its weight or mass. That pumpkin must be a really big source of matter!

Where did all the matter in the pumpkin come from?

1: The pumpkin starts as a small seed.

When you plant it, it cracks open and small roots come out.

As it grows it gets bigger and bigger. Soon stems burst through the ground and leaves start growing.

2: The pumpkin starts to grow out of the vine. Right now it isn’t very big and is mostly covered by the plant. Soon it start to become a pumpkin. Slowly it becomes bigger. A few months later it is fully grown.

1# I think all the matter came from the pumpkin seeds

2# I think they got more matter from water and sunlight

3# I think the pumpkin got more matter because it might have gotten lots of shade

4# I think it got more matter because of lots of space

I think they got this from the matter because I think the matter water seed light and

The pumpkin is massive, so how does the matter grow. (It’s over 2,000 pounds).

In the video it showed other roots so I wonder if there are other giant pumpkins or the pumpkin is that big it needs that much roots.

So that says that the pumpkin needs a lot of roots to grow that big.

Were all the mater and the pumpkin came from

2025-10-01 16:32:51 UTC

The mater came from:

a seed
Water
Food /nurture and nutrias
Sunlight
Soil
Safe surroundings
Fenced in space
Big space
Temperature

All the matter that was in the pumpkin came from a tiny seed. At first all the matter was nothing but a seed. With shade, sunlight, water, and care, the seed grew and became a massive pumpkin. Now the pumpkin’s weight is over 2,000 pounds!

i think the mass came from the plants around so the plants absorbed

Water

Sunlight

good soil

Nutrients.

And more thats what i think

riverah33 — 2025-10-02 12:46:20 UTC

I think matter comes from a plants because plants are small seeds in the beginning but than it turns bigger and gives a pumpkin a chance to grow nice and tall and big.so I think plants and seeds are the answer.but plants need water to so that helps so dose sunlight and you need soil.so i think this is where mass is.

vallanq33 — 2025-10-20 13:32:00 UTC

The matter came from the soil because the soil has vitamins and minerals so the vitamins make the plants grow. -Quinn V.
