Growing Everyday

In my humble opinion, my children are not subjected to enough science in school. So I take this as an opportunity to do all those fun science experiments with them. I went out and bought raisins and bottles of 7up. Before we started, I made Beka and Jared hypothesize what would happen. Jared siad it would explode and Beka siad the raisins would get stuck and then float. The kids then put the raisins in the bottles to see what would happen. First, the bottles bubbled so much that they overflowed. Then the raisins would sink and rise; sink and rise. So both predictions turned out to be correct. Beka and Jared then went on to add all the raisins to the bottles and watched the fluid level rise and then they had to taste the concoction. Both deemed the drink good. I wasn’t willing to taste it.
