Dancing Raisin Experiment

What you will need:

• Raisins
• Fizzy lemonade
• A tall glass

The dancing raisin experiment is quite possibly the simplest science experiment ever! The carbon dioxide in the lemonade cling to the raisin, causing it to rise and fall repeatedly. A fantastic opportunity for children to observe the properties of a gas in action. Before starting, encourage children to guess exactly what they think will happen, and why. When the raisins start to dance, ask children to describe what they see happening, and why this could be. A fantastic activity for older children, with endless opportunities for discussion, and for children to draw their own theories. Not to mention watching the raisins rise and fall in the glass, is quite a relaxing and mindful activity in itself!
