Watch this investigation to see how you too can observe decay. In this experiment, featured in Sid the Science Kid episode "My Mushy Banana," children compare and contrast pieces of a fresh, new pumpkin to an old, mushy, moldy and decayed one. But remember: it's not scary, it's just decayed! Don't miss Sid the Science Kid, the animated preschool series from The Jim Henson Company and KCET on PBS KIDS! (check local listings).
