We are trying to add a few science experiments to our school activities. So far we have made Orange Soda, Lemonade in a Bag, made litmus paper, Vinegar Dropping, Ice Cream in a Bag, Made butter, and Sherbet just to name a few.
This time we tried dancing raisins.
This time we tried dancing raisins.
We firstly tried this with sultanas but they didn’t work, so next we tried it with raisins and it worked extremely well. They boys loved watching the raisins going up and down.
What you need:
glass of water about 1/2 full
vinegar
baking soda
raisins
Add 3 TBSP of baking soda and mix a little.
Add about 4-5 raisins to the glass of water.
Add 4 TBSP of vinegar and give it a few minutes to start working.
The raisins should start dancing.
We also tried it with just mineral water and placing some raisins in a glass with it and it did work as well.
The raisins danced and danced!
