Popcorn pops because of small amounts of water in each kernel. As it is heated the water becomes steam causing it to pop. They don't all pop at the same time because it takes longer for steam to build up in some compared to others. Some may pop very fast while others go slower.

I am doing a science fair project and I'm doing it on, "Does the different brands of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels?" I have a lot of info that you can see above. You think there is no a lot of info but go to Google and type in, "does different types of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels and look. One thing that makes a difference is amount of popcorn in the bag, how much time you put it in for, and the most important is INGREDIENTS. This girl did something like this and she said palm oil makes a difference. The smallest things make the biggest differences.

Does all popcorn pop white?
There is a naturally occuring variety of pink popcorn kernals (called "strawberry popcorn", due to the colour as opposed to the taste). However I do not know if the kernals remain pink when popped. I have not heard of other naturally occuring colours of popcorn, but I expect you could just throw some food colouring onto regular popcorn and get a decent result.
