1. Pour sparkling water or soda drink in a glass or small container.
   
   We used sparkling apple juice.


2. Place raisins in the glass and predict what you think will happen.
   
   The gas bubbles cling to the raisins.

The bubbles will bring them to the top. Once bubbles burst do the raisins float or sink?
