the quantity of water in several different types of popcorn. Determining the amount of water in the product will determine the likelihood of it popping. More water in a piece of popcorn increases the amount of pressure buildup when it is heated. With the data it will be determined if more expensive popcorn equates to a better‚ more reliable popcorn. Part 2: The purpose of this experiment was to create a method of separating a mixture of popcorn‚ sand‚ salt‚ and iron filings. When separated the individual
