Brown Bag # 10       Name:_______________________
Popcorn
.
MATERIALS: popcorn, hand lenses, lima bean seeds, containers, for soaking,
water, popcorn popper or pan,
graph paper, measuring cup
.
Background reading:  Popcorn pops when it is heated to about 400 degrees. The
seed contains moisture. The moisture is enclosed by the tough outer cover of
the seed. When the corn is heated, the moisture turns to steam. The steam
exerts pressure causing the kernel to pop open. If there is a hole in the outer
coat, so that the steam can escape, or the temperature is too low, so that the
steam is not formed, popcorn will not pop. If the moisture content of the
kernels is not optimum, the popped corn will appear shriveled.
.
BEFORE STARTING: Prepare corn as follows: soak 1/4 cup popcorn overnight-label
that corn in a bag A, heat 1/4 cup of popcorn in a 200 degree oven for 1 1/2
hours-label that in a bag B, measure 1/4 cup of popcorn straight from the
bag-label that bag C.
Predict what you think soaking will do to the corn.________
___________________________________________________________
.
.
Experiment #1
.
Students should examine the three types of corn, soaked, dried and straight
from the package. Make a list of attributes...color, texture, size, etc...
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
Make a mixture of the three types of corn.
Sort in as many different ways as you can. Record the different ways that you
could classify here. _______________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
.
Experiment #2
Pop some of each type of corn and compare the popped corn with the samples A, B
and C. Compare the differences in the
popped corn from each type of sample.
.
Spread 25 kernels of each type (A, B and C) out on a shallow
pan or paper towels. Have students predict how many kernels will pop when
popcorn is heated in a popper. Heat the 25 kernels in the popper three times
for the same amount of time in each batch. Record
results__________________________

would be?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               THIS IS A REPOST!

   The Federation ship USS LEXINGTON-B NCC - 1703 - B locks onto the Back
   area of the Klingon ship the GHARGH(serpent) - Bird of
   Prey.

Inside the GHARGH(serpent) - Bird of Prey, Cmdr. B. Talma is
with his navigator.

  Nav: Sir, the USS LEXINGTON-B NCC - 1703 - B is firing at us.
       They are firing with  100 % of their power.

  Cmdr. B. Talma: Let's hope the cloaking shield lasts.


The ship shakes as the Torpedoes hit the cloaked ship.

Nav: The Back area of the ship was hit, sir
Cmdr. B. Talma : Damage report!

The Navigator speaks: 

                       Shield # 3 BACK : holding at 95 %.

Nav: What shall we do now, sir?

NOTE: Even though you were cloaked, there is still a 50 % chance of the ship 
getting hit. The program I made, just so you know, picks a random number and 
therefore decides on whether you were hit or not. If the ship is cloaked 
there 
is still that chance of getting hit.

Okay, what I wanna do is turn around, de-cloak, fire torpedoes at 
100%, re-cloak, and pull some quick evasive manuvers.  
 
And a 50% chance!!!!!!  I think that is a little off.  But, as

 LL> I wonder which country now has better secured rights?  
 LL> How can we tell?

I often make hard copy of msgs received over this BBS about the frightful conditions in US schools. Year 9 students being shot with a revolver etc...

I don't ever recall anythig like that happening in Australia.

Last week we did have a student assault (reportedly) a teacher in this city, it was the talk of the staff room during the day.

Sadly

Hello Helen

The information contained in our co2 challenge concerning co2 calculations 
came from The Children's  Earth Fund  , Box 2335, 175 Fifth Ave, NY, NY 10010, 
(217)727-4493.  They worked with serveral organizations pulling that info 
together but I think the primary on was NRDC( Natural Resources Defense 
Counsil) which is also in NY and can be reached by calling the same number.

But the best source for you is in your own home state and that's the Union of 
Concerned Scientists (UCS) in Cambridge: 26 Church Str. Cambridge MA 02238.  
In fact their energy ed person told me most of the data came from earlier 
publications they had done.  They have a great campaign going on renewable 
energy sources  that would be great for your teachers.  The data on co2 saved 
obviously has to be adjusted for local factors but is a general picture of the 
average savings. For instance, we are heavily into hydro and nuclear here in 
Oregon-two sources which don't put out the same amount of co2 as a coal-fired 
plant or oil-fired plant would.  If you want to get the truest picture of the 
energy scene, I suggest you read some of Amory Lovins' materials or contact 
the Rocky Mountain Institute, Snowmass, Col. where he is director. They have 
the most accurate positions on energy policy and data interpretation I have 
ever seen.

Oh yea, before you go cutting any of your trees down you should contact the 
American Forrestry Association's Global Releaf people in Washington D.C..
According to the info they put out th US is losing  its urban tree cover and 
these urban trees do more work than rural trees when it comes to strategic 
energy locations, cleaning the air, providing habitat etc. And remember, that 
tree is absorbing all that nasty co2!

If you need more, just holler

G'day Marshall,

Thanks for your msg about CFCs and the UV problem.

We are situated in North Queensland. Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. And yes, you are right in assuming that our school students are not allowed to be out in the sun without a 'suitable' hat to keep the suns rays off the face and back of the neck.

The major TV network ABC, broadcasts the UV rating and shows a graph of the UV vs time throughout the day, on the evening news.

We have recently had a referendum to find out if the people of the state wanted day-light saving. But the no-one wanted it. One of the main reasons was that the kids would get out of school at the real time of 2 in the afternoon instead of 3 in the afternoon, thus raising the chances of getting skin cancer.

On the matter of CFCs. We think you that perhaps you should start lobbying your congressman. The USA is the only major country not to have signed the treaty banning CFCs.

Hi Allen,
        I am Mandy's teacher at Morningside school.  She and Eddie put 
the Intercampus News project together under my supervision.  I 
suggested they post messages to individuals in the various chat areas 
(e.g., Elementary Chat, Junior High Chat, High School Chat, etc.), 
asking if they would be willing to participate.
        That is how your name was chosen.  If you do not wish to 
participate, could you ask someone at your school to serve as 
"reporter"?  We're trying to involve as many campuses as possible.

Hi everyone,
        I was wondering how difficult it would be for an educator who 
has access to K12Net to line up five or more participants in different 
countries to form something equivalent to a "learning circle."  AT&T 
came up with the idea some time ago.  I've read several journal 
articles describing the success of AT&T's approach to educational 
telecom, and the only advantage I see is that the participants are 
already lined up for you.  If there were a (more or less) permanent 
list of educators willing to participate in interclass projects then 
the implementation of said projects would be facilitated.
        I would also like to know if the K12Net Library has a synopsis 
of successful projects.

Smart work Robert, just checking to see if you were awake.

I hereby award an 'O' for observation.

Modifications had already been made to my Origin line before your msg appeared.

Sorry to see the demise of GVN.  We used the story from Papua
New Guinea in our school newspaper.  If there was any way whatsoever
to provide listserv for these newsgroups, participation would skyrocket.
We could get more European participation, and the quality of 
the postings would be good, too, for most students with access
to internet/bitnet access it at school, under teacher supervision.
Janet Murray forwarded me a message in January from a "techie"
she knew who suggested doing this, possibly through CATLIN.BITNET.
I don't remember his last name, but I hope this option can be explored.
