Students fill popcorn containers by precisely timing when to pop the kernels. With increasingly challenging levels, players need to think strategically and adjust to different popping speeds and container types.

• Grade Levels: all ages
• Skills Developed: timing, precision, quick decision making, and estimation
• Standards Addressed:
  Next Generation Science Standards - students explore cause and effect by understanding how the timing of the pop affects the placement of the popcorn and whether it lands in the container
  
• Classroom Use:
  Collaborative Play - students compare techniques and strategize about how to time their pops more effectively
  Brain Break - the simple yet engaging mechanics of popping popcorn into containers require quick thinking and timing, providing students with a short, fun challenge to reset their focus
