Sorry, it's been a while since i've updated my blog but only because my Google died and that means everything google powered also died, including blogspot. ANYWAYS. So I started my experiment today. Yesterday i went to Coles and I bought two different brands of popcorn to test: Uncle Toby's and Coles. Originally i was planning to test around 3 brands but i changed it to two since they were on special LOL. i'm such a cheap asian.
I also picked these two because they were both buttered flavour, required the same time to pop and they were the same amount in each packet.
I'll post results up later and pictures in my next post.

EYEPOPPING CORN
Ohmygod I'm so tired. But I have to finish this or I won't let myself sleep. (:
So I've decided to do my SRP on if different brands of popcorn leave different amounts of unpopped kernels when microwaved. Ms Zhang kept going on about how we should pick something we like doing and I love food and popcorn so yup. And I got my ideas from here.
EXPERIMENT
Aim: To find whether different brands of popcorn leave different amounts of unpopped kernels.
Hypothesis: Different brands of popcorn will leave different amounts of unpopped kernels.
Equipment: 3 different brands of popcorn packets (actually I don't even know if there are 3 different brands but i'll find out soon), a microwave,
Method:
1. Collect and set up the equipment.
2. Measure popcorn kernels before popping.
3. Place one brand of popcorn in the microwave and microwave for the required amount of time on the packet.
4. Count and measure the number of unpopped kernels for the brand and record results.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 for the various other brands of popcorn.
6. Repeat experiment 5 times. (i just realised how much popcorn i'll have to buy)
7. Compare and analyse results.
Yeahh that's what i got up to so far. I'll be analysing how the popcorn actually pops and how the different brands are different from each other, history of popcorn, what the difference in volume is for the kernels and how the factors influence it etc. Wow it sounds kind of technical, I'm not sure if i can pull this off. i want popcorn.
