Lesson 5 - Making Popcorn Together

Elena and Josh wanted to watch a movie and eat a snack.

They looked on the shelves in the kitchen and found a package of microwave popcorn. Elena read the directions out loud.

First, Josh and Elena removed the plastic overwrap. They unfolded the bag and place it in the center of the microwave oven.

Then, they started the microwave. They listened carefully for the popping sounds. When the popping slowed down, they turned off the microwave and removed the bag. They kept their hands away from the steam as they opened the bag.

They poured the popcorn into a large bowl. Then they went to watch a movie.

DIRECTIONS
1. Remove the plastic overwrap.
2. Unfold the bag. Place it in the center of the microwave oven.
3. Set the microwave oven to high. Popping time is from 2 to 5
minutes, depending on the oven. Listen carefully. Stop the oven
when popping slows to 1 or 2 seconds between pops.
4. Remove the bag from the microwave. BE CAREFUL! IT'S VERY HOT!
Open the bag by pulling opposite corners. Keep your hands and face
away from the hot steam that will escape.
