This information is fantastic! I am a first year teaching student and planning to teach a lesson on this and it is all the right info i need that i couldnt find (diagram on the inside of the kernel) thank you so much!

[Northcote Lodge]

This information is really helpful, i would never have guessed how it was formed. Now our teacher will let us have popcorn in class! YUM

[Phil Chatterton]

Brilliant info!  Just what I need for a Yr6 class on reversible and irreversible changes.  Tasty too - yummmm!!

[Justin]

Wow, this is just awesome. Great videos too!

[Sydney]

Cool! I think that I'm gonna do this for my science fair topic!

[Taylor N.]

This is helpful! if anyone needs ideas for a topic i am doing how the temp. the bags are stored at affect how muc hit pops. like i am going to put one in the fride one in the freezer and one at room temp. for a variable then i will count the unpoped kernals

Great infromation. What is the importance of the oil? My idea is it aids the transfer of heat to the corn. Any ideas some one may have

[Kelly]
