The gas laws are a set of laws that describe the relationship between gases' temperature, pressure, and volume. These laws can be used to explain how an increase in temperature increases the pressure inside of the unpopped kernel. This increase in pressure also generates steam. The steam then explodes out of the outer shell of the kernel. As the pressure fades, the volume expands causing any air bubbles in the popcorn to grow and the kernel to "pop".
There is water inside the grains, and when the grains are heated, the water boils. The boiling water creates so much pressure that the popcorn pops.
The heat causes internal gases [steam etc] to expand until the outer skin can no longer contain the pressure and it explodes
Each kernel has water in the middle. The heat causes the water to expand, basically turning the kernel inside out.

What is a hypothesis for why does popcorn pop?
"I believe that Popcorn Brand A will pop more than Popcorn Brand B."
What happens to popcorn kept in a heated area?
When popcorn is heated, the water inside the kernal begins to boil and eventually the pressure pops/explodes the kernal into a piece of popcorn.
What Happen To Popcorn Kernels Inside the Microwave?
They heated up so much that the pocorn kernels start to pop!!!
Is popcorn a nut?
Popcorn is a type of sweet corn which has a little more moisture than average. When heated, the water boils into steam and the hull of the corn kernel ruptures explosively. That's the "pop!" part of the popcorn.
Why do kernels explode?
If you are discussing popcorn kernels here (I wasnt sure) it is because they have moisture inside of them and when they are heated,moisture expands and they Pop.
What is the life cycle of popcorn?
The life cycle of popcorn starts as a kernel planted in the ground. It grows into a stalk with ears of corn. The kernels are harvested and dried. When heated, the kernels pop and turn into fluffy popcorn.

What does popcorn sound like when cooking?
Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop..
How does moisture get in popcorn?
Moisture inside popcorn kernels turns into steam when heated, causing the kernel to pop and expand. This steam creates pressure inside the kernel until it bursts open, resulting in fluffy popcorn.
