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.
