How Popcorn Pops

How Popcorn Pops

Intro/Beginning

This informative talk is about how and why piquant popcorn pops. 

Middle

Hard Shell/Hull

The popcorn kernel is not the corn you would usually eat on Christmas, but a different type of corn species. The popcorn shell is called a hull. 

Popping Bit

Inside the hull, steam gathers inside, where the steam gets bigger and bigger. The steam will stay inside the hull until it can no longer handle the pressure and then POP. The steam SHOOTS out of the kernel and then it turns into the yummy popcorn we all know and cherish. 

Inside The Hull

Inside the hull, there are many things to discover.  The white stuff inside the popcorn kernel is actually starch. That bit is also called the endosperm. It is the seeds fuel.  Beneath that is the germ where it feeds on the endosperm. So that is how it will grow into a plant. 

End/Conclusion

Popcorn is basically steam rushing out where it pops and grows into popcorn. When it pops it is the sound of steam shooting out of the kernel. Next time, before you eat popcorn, study how all of the science works.

Day 1

First, we will go to my house for a quick snack and get ready. Then we will walk all the way to the apartment to drop off all your stuff. Soon after we will go to the car rental to get a car so then we don’t have to walk everywhere. After we have chosen the right car, we will drive to the palm trees where we can rest and sit down to catch our breath. Once we have had our nice relaxation, we drive to the deadly, dangerous, and daring volcano. We can take a look around it where tourists will come to explore. Later on when we have finished studying the volcano, we will be hungry so we will travel to the shops and find a cafe or something where we can eat. Then we will go to the hot water beach where the sand is burning. When we have finished swimming we will drive to the apartment where I can drop you off. 

Day 2

First I will come and collect you from my house to your apartment. Then we can travel in the car to the cold water beach, where it is very cold. Once we have finished playing we will travel to the boat deck, where we can go to another island. We row the bike to Pointy islands beach where everything is at the right temperature. After swimming and splashing in the water,  we will be starving, so we will explore all the shops and find a place to eat. Soon after we have finished eating we can buy stuff and cool things at the shops nearby. Then we will travel to Crazy Island where we can swim at Crazy Beach. After that, we will travel back to Akshara Island where we can watch a movie and rethink ALL the stuff we saw. Then I will drop you back at the apartment because the next day you will be leaving.
