Popcorn pops because of the water content in the kernels. Heating the kernels, whether by microwave or by some other means, turns the water into steam, which expands and breaks the kernels. Admittedly, this is a small amount of water, but it doesn't take much steam, to pop a kernel.
To make microwave popcorn in the oven, preheat the oven to 325F, place the popcorn kernels in a paper bag, fold the top of the bag a few times to seal it, and then place the bag on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the popping slows down. Be careful when opening the bag as steam will escape. Enjoy your homemade microwave popcorn!
To microwave popcorn, place a pre-packaged bag in the microwave and cook according to the instructions on the packaging. Typically, you will need to set the microwave to the recommended time and power level, then listen for the popping to slow down before removing the bag. Be careful when opening the bag as steam may escape. Enjoy your popcorn!
No, there is not the same amount of popcorn in every bag of name brand popcorn.

If Germaine ate a fourth of a bag of popcorn that was half full, she ate 1/8 of the bag of popcorn.
Because the popcorn starts out as seeds. When the seeds start to pop, the bag has to get bigger to hold all of the popcorn.
I keep mine in the freezer in a freezer bag
yes because if you buy a popcorn bag their will be seeds so if you put it in the microwave they will turn into ready popcorn
Popcorn pops because the small amount of water in the kernel vaporizes as it heats up. The resulting popped corn weighs less than the original kernel because the weight of the water is no longer in it. Also, the resulting of the steam popping open the kernel the steam loosens and softens the dense carbohydrate part (the white fluffy part) of the corn kernel itself which decreases the density of the carbohydrate (white fluffy part), and less density decreases the weight. :)
The fastest conclusions cannot be popped by a bag of popcorn.
Popcorn has a 1300% margin.
Popcorn is a solid.
