Extended learning 

  • You could also try with different types of dried fruit and see if they work too – such as Craisins and sultanas
  • Try using other liquids such as lemonade, mineral water or soda water.

Why do the raisins dance?

The vinegar and baking soda create carbon dioxide bubbles, the same gas that carbonates soft drink or soda pop.  The bubbles will gather under the raisins until there’s enough fizz to raise them to the surface. When the bubbles pop it causes the raisins to fall back down to the bottom and the process continues.
