Popcorn is one many peoples popular snacks. Bringing it into the science fair is a great idea for a project. You can show off some ingenuity and bribe the judges with yummy treats! There are nearly an infinite whole of experiments with popcorn. A few of them are listed below.
Please Remember popcorn is just heated corn. Cope with care right after cooking
Almost all popcorn experiments give us one of two things; a better taste, or more popcorn. Taste can be a matter of preference. Here are two experiments that get us more popcorn, faster.
- 1) Which Brand leaves the fewest unpopped kernels. Pick 3 separate brands of popcorn. Count out 3 groups of 100 kernels for each brand, a total of 900 kernels. Pop them in batches of 100. Count how many kernels are left by each brand. Repeat this 3 times for each brand. Create a chart showing your results. You could also do a break down on the cost per popped kernel. Did the most high-priced brand furnish the most popcorn?
2) Which brand of popcorn pops the fastest No one wants to wait for their popcorn. Win the judges over by letting them know which brands of popcorn will get to them the fastest. Pick 3 separate brands of popcorn. Count out 3 groups of 100 kernels for each brand, a total of 900 kernels. Pop them in batches of 100, timing them. (The popping will go on for a while once the cooking process is done. Decree a time frame in the middle of pops that qualifies as "done")
Now you know which brand pops up the fastest. Reconsider finding at what other variables influence the time. What happens if you freeze the kernels? How about if you refrigerate them? Does your elevation play a role.
