The exquisite hippopotamus moved gracefully in the murky watering hole while the baboons, jaguar and zebras were drinking from it.

why does popcorn pop

Why popcorn pops

This text will be telling you how and why popcorn pops.

Popcorn has a very different shell to normal corn. Popcorn has a hard shell which is called a hull where normal corn has a softshell. A popcorn kernel pops from the pressure that builds up in the hull But for this to happen you have to heat it up in the microwave, pan or popcorn maker. This pressure is made up of all the moisture being heated. When there is moisture in the kernel and it gets heated up the moisture turns into steam. When enough steam builds up the kernel goes pop!. It pops because there is nowhere for the steam to go. It has to escape so it breaks through the hull (shell). When it goes pop! all the white stuff explodes out. now there's some ready to eat popcorn kernels.

All that white stuff is starch that the kernel eats. 

The shoemaker

The shoemaker

The shoemaker owns a small shop on a busy street. It seems he has been working and establishing the business for a long time now. The little shoemaker is very experienced at his job and only sells shoes he made. He is short and old and his shoes are his prized possession.

All the shoes are quite old fashion and unique. All of the shoes are kept squeaky clean. All of them are displayed at the large shop window to catch the customers eyes. The shoes he made had a life of their own. They slept and even moved by themselves. They were all different colours and styles, that meant they had different attitudes as well.

States of matter

States of matter

Water is a substance that can be a solid, liquid or gas. All of those states are matter. The solid is Ice (Frozen Water.) The liquid is water (The water we drink) The gas is water vapour (The steam that comes out of a boiling pot.)

The particles in these substances are all different. the particles in the liquid (water) are separated and can move anywhere. With the solid (ice) particles are thick and stuck together in an organised group. With the gas (water vapour) there are not many particles and they have a large space between them and are not in an organised group.

Monkey symphony

Monkey symphony 

In this animation, two brothers are separated by musical differences. To start the animation, the two boys are sitting in front of a piano. One of the brothers decides to play classical music copying from the notes the piano teacher has given them. But the other brother ignores the notes and plays some funky modern music which the strict piano teacher disliked. 

The monkey that played the funky music got sent out of the room and was no longer allowed to play.

At the present day, the brother who got told not to play the piano is now a cleaner at the piano theatre where his brother is going to play his music. When the cleaner was backstage he could hear his brother playing his classical music. But then the cleaner that was not allowed to play noticed a piano backstage. He then started to play his funky music on the other piano. The other cleaner then started to raise the theatre’s curtains so the strict, mean and forceful piano teacher could see what was happening. 

Then the other brother that was playing classical joined in with playing the funky music. The piano teacher got very angry and annoyed that she strutted off stage disappointed.

How To Figure Out The Area Of A Triangle

How To Figure Out The Area Of A Triangle

The way you answer this question is simple.

First, we need to figure out the dimensions of the triangle.

(Example: 2cm Height, 5cm Base)

Next, we time them together

(Example: 2x5=10)

After that, we divide the number by two.

(Example: 10÷2=5)

And that will give you your answer
