What would happen if I planted a popcorn kernel?

Question

Asking for my kid (:

Answer 1

Grow a popcorn plant. Follow directions in Millicent E. Selsam's book Popcorn to help students grow their own popcorn. Soak popcorn kernels overnight and then provide students with cups, wet paper towels, and the kernels. Have them place a kernel between the cup and the paper towel and put the cup in a warm place. In three to five days, when a small root will appear, students can plant the seed in a large clay pot filled with 1/2 potting soil and 1/2 peat moss. Have students leave the ear of corn on the plant until the plant matures and the kernels dry out.

Answer 2

nothing they have been treated not to sprout.
