Popcorn

 How does popcorn pop?

Hey guys, do you smell that buttery popcorn going pop pop? Have you ever wondered how popcorn really pops? Well did you know in the 1880s there was a man called Charles Cretor that came up

with all this business, by inventing the first popcorn machine. The real question is, how is

popcorn really made?

Have you ever questioned how a kernel's life cycle takes place? It all began in Mexico. In 1948, Herbert Dick and Earle Smith discovered small heads of corn and popped kernels deep in a dry cave known

as the "Bat Cave”. The kernels have since been dated to be about 5,600 years old.

The reason why popcorn pops is the water trapped inside its kernel. If the kernel is heated to a high enough temperature, this water will transform into steam. Due to the hard and mostly airtight shell, the steam has nowhere to go, resulting in a buildup of pressure inside the kernel. A kernel has about

14-19% of water. 

Why is popcorn healthy you may ask? Popcorn is a high fiber and whole grain snack which has a lower risk of heart disease, cancers and other health problems. A tub of movie theatre popcorn contains

around 1,090 calories. 

In conclusion I hope you learned more about popcorn like how it was made and the science behind it. 

 

How to look after a calf

 How to look after a calf 

Equipment 

• A calf 

• Milk feeder

• Grass or paddock

• A shade area 

• Water trough 

• Hay 

1. You have to go get your calf 

2. You get a calf bottle 

3. Get some milk 

4. Fill the bottle with milk all the way 

5. Not that full and close the lid 

6. Try to open the calf's mouth with your finger 

7. And feed it with the milk 

8. When you have done feeding your calf 

9. Then go home 

• You should feed your calf every day because they’re just little calf that are taken away from their parents. You will have to feed them anyway or they will be screaming their heads of (you have got to feed them)!!!! 

• You should always have grass or hay around them or in a paddock but you don’t need to because they already have grass in the paddocks when ever you go to feed your calf and when you have do that you should let them in the paddock to jump around and eat grass 

• Grass and milk is very important for the calf so they can grow up and produce milk to the butter, ice cream and yoghurt is the big one same as butter if you didn’t have milk what would you do then? Now that is a question for you to answer.

• If you have a paddock put your calf in it and if you don’t want your calf to be alone put a couple of others caves in make sure that your calf has a tag on it do something on it that you will find out it is your calf like draw a flower or whatever brings out you and your calf.

• You should always have a water trough around your calf so when it wants to have a drink it will go to the water trough cheek it twice or once a week.

• Last and not least spend some amazing time with it if you want to do it every day you can but I can’t because I go to school the only time i can spend time with my calf is the weekends and the school holidays and just get to know each other.
