Popcorn Recipe


Would you like to know how Room 8 students made popcorn for our shared lunch?

The ingredients we used were:
Oil 
Popcorn seeds 
Salt 
 
The Method we used was:
1 We heated the oil in a pot.
2 We then put 3 or 4 popcorn seeds into the oil and covered the pot.
3 When the seeds popped, we added the rest of the popcorn seeds in an even layer.
4 Once the popping started we gently shook the pot. We kept the lid slightly open to let the steam from the popcorn escape. Once the popping slowed down we removed the pot from the heat, removed the lid, and put the popcorn into a wide bowl.
5 We then added salt to taste.

IT WAS YUMMY!

Wind pollinated flowers

The flowers are small.
The pistils are feathery.  
The grains of pollen are light.  
The stamens are long.  
The flowers produce no nectar.  

How do plants grow?

http://www.janinesgarden.com/images/drought_tolerant.jpg 
The plant starts off as a seed.
Inside the seed is the embryo.
The embryo turns into a seedling and then into the plant.
Flowers produce seeds before they die. 

When seeds reach the ground new plants grow. 

Animal pollinated flowers


 
They have large, brightly coloured petals to attract insects.
They are sweetly scented and contain nectar to attract insects.
The pollen is sticky to stick to insects.
The anthers are firm and inside the flower to brush against insects.
The stigma is inside the flower so that the insect brushes against it.
