There are so many new activities that can expanded from this webquest. You are welcome to use some of the following ideas or feel free to email your suggestions to me and I will add them to this page so other educators can enjoy your great suggestions!

* Have a popcorn party. Invite the students to bring in popcorn or provide it for them! Allow the students to talk about what they have learned while they enjoy the snack.

* Students can do research on the history of popcorn. They can create a written and/or oral presentation about when people started eating it, how it was cooked, and how it is prepared now. Students can also include maps about where the plants are primarily grown.

* To incorporate Physical Education students can sing the following song while jumping rope:

Popcorn, popcorn in the pot. Popcorn, popcorn piping hot! When it's gone, please don't pout. Just make sure that you jump out. P-O-P-C-O-R-N! (jump out)

* It is also interesting to learn about what makes popcorn pop! Students can discover what makes the noise when the kernals pop and why they pop.

*Music can be incorporated singing the following songs or any others that you can find or create yourself!

Students can also be invited to create songs based on the information they have learned!

Popcorn in the Pot (tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little popcorn in a pot
Heat me up and watch me pop.
When I get all puffed up, then I'm done.
Popping corn is lots of fun.

Pop, Pop, Pop My Corn (tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Pop, pop, pop, my corn,
Pop it big and white.
Popping, popping, popping, popping
'Til it is just right.
