Hokey Pokey Popcorn Crunch #2

Today we did some science and at the same time we made hokey pokey popcorn crunch. It was really fun and amazing because we learnt how popcorn pops and why it jumps up in the air. Now if your wondering it does pop well the popcorn has moisture inside of it and when it gets heated up the moisture expands so much that it pops the shell of the kernels, when the moisture escapes out of the kernel it makes a popping sound and it has such force that it sends it flying up in the air and turns it inside out. Once we had taken all of the kernels that hadn't popped we poured hokey pokey that hadn't set all over the popcorn. It was really fun because we get to eat it and I'm sure it will be delicious.
