Dancing Raisins

During Science, we conducted an experiment called ‘Dancing Raisins’. We placed raisins in water and also in lemonade. The raisins in lemonade started to dance. The combination of raisin and gas is less dense than the raisin alone, so when many “bubbles” form on the raisin, they lift the raisin to the surface. When some of the bubbles break, the density increases, the raisins sink and then the whole process is repeated. This makes the raisins appear to dance!
