Linseed Popcorn!



The current question for investigation in Room 1's Food Changes unit is What kind of seeds make popcorn?
We chose linseeds to try first.
Student predictions were - They might not pop. They might explode. The popcorn maker will blow up.
We poured in the little black linseeds, turned the machine on and observed carefully.
It began to heat up and smell like popcorn! Then we heard a popping sound and linseed popcorn began to tumble out!!
We saw little yellow popped bits with the skin peeling off but lots was still black and shiny - Kaya's observation
It tasted like crunchy coffee - James

Next we will try sesame seeds!
