Experiments with Popcorn

Experiment with popcorn is an interesting way to try scientific theory. There is also the advantage of eating delicious food.

Popcorn is the food that has existed for thousands of years, and Americans have discovered that if a corn (cone) is placed by the fire, it "explodes" into a fluffy form.

Since then, popcorn has become one of the most popular foods in the world, and movie viewers have been hidden in many things everywhere.

There is more popcorn, we design some experiments, please tell me more about this attractive food.

For these experiments with popcorn it is best to have a hot air balloon. Otherwise, you will need to use a pot on the rice cooker (stove), so it is important for the adult to help you.

Also, be careful when poping out of Popper because popcorn is very hot. If you want to eat popcorn later, please make sure that all equipment and hands are properly cleaned.

First of all, you need to create a data chart yourself as shown. We will use it to record the results of popcorn experiments.

Calm down, then calculate the number of kernels to pop up. Please record this in your chart. Since we have calculated 100 cores, this number can be written as a percentage.

Pour the popcorn into the measuring cup and measure the volume in ml. Record these figures in the chart

You can plot the results in several bar graphs and discuss important findings with other people in the class.

Maybe you can test different brands of popcorn and see which one is best. Is hot air better than a pot? There are many ways to design experiments using popcorn.

In this experiment, I will examine which popcorn you like best. You will use "blind" technology to find the popcorn you like best.

Five different brands of popcorn - it is best to stick to the same type like all such saltiness or perfect sweet to prevent personal preferences become a problem

Bring you volunteers and cover your eyes if they recognize your brand. You have to pay close attention and make sure they do not get stuck with something

You can use this method to do many other experiments in popcorn. Maybe you can study whether the more expensive brand is better. Is the cost of popcorn different?

Popcorn is a favorite snack for many people. In popcorn a lot of experiments have been done to determine the best brand, the best blasting method, and the best way to manufacture the most explosive core. Larano compares pop-up results with kernels stored at various temperatures. She reports that the core stored in a refrigerator or freezer has a core without bursts than those stored at room temperature (Larano, 2002). Boyd tested two different brands of microwave popcorn to determine which product produced the smallest amount of corn. Boyd popped the popcorn in the microwave and tested it using two different brands of popcorn, but explained two reasons why the popcorn kernel is not popular. One is water shortage of the core, and the other is cracking of the hull, generating sufficient pressure to escape the steam and explode the core (Boyd, n.d.). Experiment planning step

The experiment conducted in Part 1 showed that there is a big difference in popcorn "bursting" ability, even though the popcorn's moisture content is slightly different. Before the experiment, the influence on moisture content and popcorn was unknown. After the experiment, each group left knowledge of the moisture content of favorite brand and cheap brand popcorn. The laboratory gained insight into the importance of the accuracy of popcorn in relation to the water content of each center. The experiment in Part 2 showed that most solid mixtures can be separated using the right tools. Each group should separate the mixture, then weigh out each of the four components, then proposes a solution to decide whether to add the initial weight of the solid mixture.
