Experimenting with Raisins

Last week, both kindergarten classes engaged in a captivating science experiment! Throughout the week, the young learners have immersed themselves in the world of science. Students are starting to realize they can be scientists and run their own science experiments. Additionally, kindergarteners ask questions and make observations during science time as they continue to learn more about the world of science.

For our experiment, the students eagerly explored the mystery of why raisins “dance” when placed in soda. To kick off the activity, they watched a thrilling short video on Generation Genesis, which showcased the experiment in action, capturing their imaginations. Afterward, the students enthusiastically took part in the experiment themselves, making predictions with bright eyes, observing the fizzy results with wide smiles, and asking many questions. This collaborative experience truly transformed them into super scientists, brimming with curiosity and wonder!
