Preschool Science
Dancing Raisins

Another simple preschool science experiment that you can try tonite !

It is a really fun to see the raisins go bippity-boppity-boo!

This is another great idea to add to any party fizzy drinks!

what you need:
clear glass which is tall, some raisins, fizzy club soda

Procedure :
1. Pour in some club soda into a glass
2. Drop in half a raisin
3. wait for about 30 seconds

Now for the fun part,

4. Watch the raisins dance!

The scientific explanations :
The reason why the raisin floats to the top is because the bubbles stick to the irregular sides of the raisin and make the raisin more buoyant.

Once the raisin reaches the top, it looses some of its air bubbles, causing it to sink .

Then the bubbles start to stick to the raisin again and the cycle repeats

-"Buoyant" means that something floats more easily.
-The bubbles make the raisin float the way a life jacket makes a person float.

Awesome "raisins science"!
