Does Popcorn Weigh More or Less Than Unpopped Popcorn?

Does popped popcorn weigh more or less than unpopped popcorn?

Our class went to work designing an experiment to find the answer. They estimated the mass of the popcorn kernels before and after they had popped. Popcorn weighs less when popped, as the moisture inside each kernel is released during popping. In the second experiment, each student estimated the volume of the kernels after they are popped.

After months of working on our writing skills, we were ready to tackle the Direct Writing Test. We started the day with a healthy breakfast and a exhilarating run. Then it was time to put pen to paper and shine.

Stars On Ice

For Valentines, Armstrong's All-Stars laced up their skates and tried out the ice at the Peaks Ice Rink. Mrs. Armstrong enjoyed watching her prodigies take to the ice like a duck to the water.

Way To Shine Emily!
