A Popcorn experiment:
We found a great experiment in a science book (Science Experiments you can Eat) about popcorn. What happens if you take regular popping corn and add moisture? What happens if you take moisture away? Do the popcorn people really know what they’re doing?
Our guess: It would pop really fast and be really big!
It ‘popped’ fast, but instead of popping, it sort of just split open and sat.
Our guess: It would pop slower and be small.
It popped SUPER fast, and was a medium-ish size. I don’t know if this would really be indicative of dried out popcorn since we didn’t cook it, but it is the way with experiments…
Our guess: It would be the normal size of popcorn.
Yep. Turned out like normal popcorn! We also discovered that if you do a small amount of popcorn at a time, ALL of the kernels will pop. However, if you cover the entire bottom of the pan with popcorn kernels, you’ll only get about half. Interesting…
Mmmm…Popcorn… Now it’s time to start a movie!! J
