What is popcorn?

Why does popcorn pop

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Do you know how popcorn pops?

Popcorn is a snack food that grows on a cob and pops when it gets to a temperature too hot to handle. Popcorn is named for its popping noise. When popcorn pops it bursts open and releases a hot steam.

Popcorn pops because inside a popcorn kernel there is water starch and steam. The water in the kernel turns into steam and the steam makes the starch turn into a gel like substance. Then the pressure builds up and pushes the starch out and if the starch comes incontact with oxygen it turns into a fluffy starch. That is what you eat.

So now you know how popcorn pops. My favorite popcorn flavor is butter, lightly salted and icing sugar. What is your favorite flavor?     

 

Author's Purpose

 We were learning about what is an author's purpose and why they write.

I found it easy to read the text and answer the questions.

I really enjoyed read the text and finding out what an authors purpose was.

Next time I need to read more faster than I did.

Maori introduction

 We were learning about how to introduce ourselves in te reo.

I really enjoyed finding more information about me and maori language.

I found it hard to read and speak clearly.

Next time I need to try and say it more clearly so you can hear it better.

Road safety

 

We were learning about how to use Imovie and we were also learning about how to make a road safety video.

I found it easy to edit the video and pick the theme for the video.

I found it hard to try and find different spots to video.

I really enjoyed working together and trying a new tool for learning.

Next time I need to try to video in different places.
