Hi, I'm Bianca Baker, with more science news you can use.

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Why does a kernel of popcorn go from this to this?

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Hmm, what is that?

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Heat energy makes things expand and change from one form to another, like turning water into steam.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Well, that's what happens to popcorn, too.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Water goes past this hard shell into the middle of the kernel, which contains a little bit of water.

7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
As the water gets hot, it changes into steam and expands inside the kernel

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
until there's no more room and the kernel explodes, turning into this.

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
And it's ever so good.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Well, until next time, I'm Bianca Baker, with more science news you can use.

Thanks for watching!
