ACTIVITY:  MAKE AND EAT POPCORN

After you read along and learn lots of things about popcorn, gather your friends and family to make some!

Before you do, have an adult put some kernels in a bag to jar and take turns trying to estimate how many there are. 

Then ask the adult to pop them for you and enjoy your snack together.

HOW many kernels were there? Who was closest? 

What makes the kernels pop? 

What was your favorite fact about popcorn?
