This experiment is called “The Dancing Raisins.” You’ll need:
1. A tall clear drinking glass
2. Soda pop such as 7-up, Sprite, or club soda
3. Raisins
Fill the glass about 3/4 full with the soda pop. Drop in about six raisins. Watch as the raisins slowly sink to the bottom of the glass and then begin to rise back up to the top and move up and down as if they were dancing! This is occurs because the bubbles in the soda pop attach themselves to the raisins, causing the raisins to float. When the raisins come up to the surface of the glass, the bubbles pop and the raisins sink back down. Looks like magic — but it's science!
