Making Popcorn

 Today in Room 4 we carried out a science experiment using corn kernels, oil and heat.
When we turned on the heat we could see the moisture that was coming from the corn kernels. It was evaporating out of the kernels and then turning to steam on the frying pan lid. When the kernels got hot enough they began to explode. When that happened the kernels turned inside out and became white and fluffy. Soon we had a frying pan filled with delicious POPCORN!
