Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hi everyone, I will be popping popcorn-three brands and the measures being which brand has the most popped corn. As I am trying to bring all this together,
and at this point; in the Literature review section of my experiment I have to cite at least 2 other studies that I can summarize and draw a connection with these external studies and my study. My school recommended completed online (projects) studies found on Science Buddies site. I don't have a problem reviewing, summarizing and drawing a connection, but I don't know how to find them? I am bouncing around this site and I need find to some completed projects that I can compare/Contrast with my Popcorn popping Experiment. Thank You so much Raymond

Craig Bridge; Thank You so much for the direction in regards to my question on Relevance.

Hi,

I have not found Science Buddes project results on popcorn volume studies. Here are some possibly relevant sites from a google search:

Rhe bottom line here is I don’t think you will find reliable data on popping volume of popcorn, though you can find pretty good information on the factors that affect it. I hope this information helps, even though it is not exactly what you asked for.

Best regards,
