Jumping Raisins!

In Discovery Time we observed, wondered and asked questions.
Here are some of our wonderings and questions.
Why do some raisins float and some sink?
What makes the raisins go up and down - usually things just float or sink.
Why do the bubbles pop when they get to the top?
I wonder if the raisins would do this in water, or milk or other fizzy drinks.

Let us know what you think.
