How does the microwave know when your popcorn is done?
The microwave doesn't actually know when the popcorn is done. You have to listen to the slowing of the popcorn popping sound.

It does not actually know when the popcorn is done.
Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?
As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.

What materials do you need to perform an elementary popcorn science project?
You can purchase popcorn in bulk, or in packages at grocery stores. There are specialty popcorn stores where you can buy organic or various specialty popcorns. You can use a hot air popper, a microwave or the old fashioned way. Use oil or shortening in a 4-6 quart kettle. Heat until very hot (not smoking). It is important when using oil to place the kernels in the oil before you turn on the heat, otherwise it may splash and hurt you. Most popcorn comes with directions for temperature, time, etc. It is important when using a microwave oven---DO NOT WALK AWAY--while popcorn is popping. Each microwave varies. I have had the best luck with microwave popcorn by placing a cup of water on 2 minutes heat, before you pop. Take out the cup of water, take the wrapper off the popcorn---do not open the microwave popcorn bag until finished popping. It is a good idea to wait a minute or two to let the steam escape. Holding the corners of the bag---make sure it is pointed away from your face in case a kernel should pop or steam escape. You can add popcorn salt, butter, garlic powder or a variety of different spices to make your popcorn more tasty and unique. Enjoy!
