What's Poppin' in Science?



Friday we had a blast in Science!  We used our five senses to experience popcorn.  We used our ears to listen to it pop, our eyes to watch the Jiffy Pop pan expand and to use a hand lens to look closely at each piece.  We then used our hands to feel the popped corn and the kernel before it was popped.  We used our noses to smell the yummy smell as it popped on our portable burner and it made our mouths water.  We finally were able to taste it.  And all along the way we made observations and recorded those on our lab sheets.  We even learned about how to make an hypothesis and write a conclusion.  It was so much fun to use popcorn to learn!
