Dancing Raisins

Continuing our unit on Buoyancy and Density, I thought this would be a fun experiment to conduct at home.What happens when a carbonated drink (soda) and raisins meet? Why don't you find out? Try this experiment at home. Materials you will need:

● clear, carbonated beverage such as sprite or club soda

● Tall, clear drinking glass

● Several fresh raisins

1. What to do: Fill the glass with your clear, carbonated beverage. Drop a few raisins into the glass and observe.

2. What happens? Try the experiment first and then watch the video below with Professor It.


You may also want to try:

· Comparing raisins in soda to raisins in other liquids (like water or juice)

· Testing the buoyancy of other small objects (like pasta, beads, chocolate chips)

Have FUN!!!!
