Science Rocks! (with raisins)

Our science experiment set-up included a cup of water on each table.
Student 1: "Why do we have water?"
Student 2: "We're going to make wine! AWEsome!"
(We had just heard a Bible story about the Last Supper and bread/wine, which reminded some students of Jesus' first miracle...)
Well, our experiment was not quite that awesome, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Something interesting is happening
Look!
Can you see it?
This is awesome!
The class was quite noisy with exclamations of surprise and excitement. Science can be so much fun. Yesterday in science we learned about sinking and floating. Today we did more experimenting. First we predicted what would happen if we dropped a raisin in water. Then we tried it. (It sank.) Next we put the raisins in pop. Below are two children's recorded observations.
To try it at home all you need are a clear cup, some clear pop (so you can see it better), and a raisin.

Sorry, no spirit day pictures today. Tomorrow is tacky day!
