On Tuesday we investigated what raisins do when we pit them into glasses of water, milk and lemonade. We had predicted what we thought would happen before we tried the experiment. A lot of us thought that the raisins would move up and down in the lemonade but not in the milk and water. Sophie, Thomas and Taj put 6 raisins into each cup and we timed them for two minutes to see what they would do. The raisins in the water and milk did nothing at all! The raisins sunk to the bottom in the lemonade and when we looked at them they were covered in bubbles from the lemonade. Then they started to move up and down in the water. They didn't all go at the same time or keep going continuously, but they were moving. We are now talking about why they didn't keep going, was it cause they were too heavy or was the lemonade not fizzy enough? What do you think?
