Dancing Raisins Fizz

Dr. Beaker · Lab Chemist

Great choice, Junior Scientist! Today we're doing the "Dancing Raisins Fizz" experiment. Let me explain what we'll discover together. Bubbles of carbon dioxide gas from the soda stick to the rough surface of the raisins. The bubbles lift the raisin up; at the top the bubbles pop and the raisin sinks again — a dancing cycle!
