Sarah: Hi Alex. What are you doing?

Alex: I am preparing the ingredient to make popcorn

Sarah: Hey, have you ever wondered why popcorn pops?

Alex: Yeah, it's interesting. I think it's because of the moisture inside the seed. When you
heat it up, the moisture turns into steam.

Sarah: Exactly! And did you know that people have been enjoying popped corn for
centuries? Native Americans were the first to discover it.

Alex: No way! I didn't know that. How did they find out?

Sarah: Well, they used to heat corn seeds in sand. The heat caused the moisture inside
to turn into steam, making the seeds pop. It's like a natural explosion! Can you
understand my explanation?

Alex: That's pretty cool. I guess popcorn has been a snack for a long time.

Sarah: Oh, absolutely. And today, we've perfected the art of making popcorn. Microwave
popcorn, for example, is so convenient.

Alex: True. I've always wondered, though, why some seeds don't pop.

Sarah: Ah, that's a good question. It's because each seed has a different amount of
moisture. The ones with more moisture pop, while the drier ones stay unpopped.

Alex: Interesting. So, we've been popping popcorn for centuries, and there's still some
science behind it.

Sarah: Definitely. And did you know that popcorn is often enjoyed at the movies?

Alex: Yeah, it's a classic snack. I've also heard that popcorn can be made into different
flavors.

Sarah: Yes, you can get creative with toppings like caramel, cheese, or even chocolate.
It's amazing how versatile popcorn can be.

Alex: Absolutely. The mystery of why popcorn pops adds to the enjoyment of this tasty
treat.
