Designed for a G and T KS3 activity I am adapting this to use in the new AQA GCSE 'Using Energy' section. It deals specifically with the transfer of kinetic energy to grav. potential energy and applies this to exploding popcorn.The activity could be adapted for all abilities; as it stands there is a tricky calculation at the end. The card match was done first, and then students do the practical activity. We use electrical hotplates to cook the popcorn, as these are safer. You will need a dust pan and brush!

Looks like fun, I will probably adapt it by filming the experiment using the video to determine the height, Thanks
