Popcorn and Pasta - S1.E11

Maddie explores some favourite foods. She uses a special slow-motion camera to find out why popcorn pops. An animation shows what popcorn is made of and how a water droplet hidden inside each kernel of corn expands as it is cooked, making it pop. Next, Maddie visits a pasta factory to see how flour is mixed with water and turned into pasta dough and how special cutters are used to create different pasta shapes.
