Dancing Raisins in Soda
A delightful science experiment that demonstrates buoyancy and gas release through the captivating action of raisins dancing in soda.
Ingredients
Materials
- 1 bottle clear soda (like Sprite or 7-Up)
- A handful raisins You can substitute with other dried fruits or small pasta shapes.
- 1 glass clear glass or cup
- Optional measuring cup For pouring soda accurately.

Preparation
- Gather your clear soda and raisins. Make sure you have a clean glass ready to use.
- Pour the clear soda into the glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Drop a handful of raisins into the soda and observe closely.
- Watch as the bubbles cling to the raisins, making them rise to the surface. Once they reach the top, the bubbles will pop, and the raisins will sink again.
Notes
You can customize the soda by trying different types or adding food coloring. Share this activity with friends for a fun group science project.
