Dancing Corn Easy Science Experiment
In this fun and easy science experiment, we’re going to explore and investigate carbon dioxide by making corn dance.
Materials:
- Clear carbonated soda like a Sprite
- Popcorn kernels
- Water
- Two clear cups
Instructions:
- Fill one of the cups with water.
- Fill the other cup with clear soda.

How it Works:
The carbon dioxide in the soda attaches to the popcorn kernels. The gas then carries the popcorn kernels to the surface of the soda. The carbon dioxide bubbles pop when they reach the surface and the popcorn kernels sink back toward the bottom. The popcorn kernels begin collecting more carbon dioxide bubbles and the process starts over again. This make the corn appear to dance.
Make This A Science Project:
Try different types of soda. Try different items like raisins and other small candies. Try different temperatures of soda.
