PurposeThe reason I am doing this project is to see how many popcorn kernels are in each bag after being poppped. Hypothesis I think that Pop Weaver’s will have the least amount of unpopped kernels because it comes from Wal-Mart and it has the most butter.
The Materials • Microwave • Tray • 9 plastic cups • 3 bags of Clancy brand popcorn • 3 bags of Essential Everyday popcorn (County Market) • 3 bags of Pop Weavers popcorn
The Procedure • 1.Buy supplies for the experiment. • 2.Pop 1 bag of Clancy's popcorn for 1 minute and 45 seconds. • 3.Let microwave cool for a half hour. • 4.Dump bag of popcorn onto a tray. • 5.Put popped popcorn kernels back into the bag.
The Procedures • 6.Count the unpopped popcorn kernels. • 7.Put them in a plastic cup and label the cup C1 and write the number of kernels you counted on the cup. • 8. Repeat steps 2-7 two more times for the Clancy's brand popcorn.
The Procedures • 9.Repeat steps 2-7 for 3 Pop Weavers brand popcorn. • 10.Repeat steps 2-7 for 3 bags of Essential Everyday popcorn.
Conclusion Our conclusion is that Pop Weavers popcorn popped the most popcorn. Our hypothesis was right. Wethink that it is the better popcorn because it comes from Wal-Mart and everyone shops there and it is open 24 hours a day. Next time we do this project we could count the kernels that popped and use different brands of popcorn.
