Questions for Discussion: Density and Buoyancy: Experimenting with Club Soda

  • How did the bubbles help the raisin and grape float?
  • What gas is in the bubbles that form on the grape and raisin?
  • In what ways is the bubble-covered raisin like a person in a life jacket? How can a life jacket be so small compared to our bodies and still keep us afloat?
  • The grape and the raisin have very different volumes. Why do you think the air bubbles allowed both to float?
