The carbon dioxide in the soda reacts with the sugar in the raisin, coating it with CO2 bubbles and causing it to rise to the surface. The bubbles pop, the raisin sinks, and the cycle begins again.

The same thing happens in colas, but because colas are dark, it's difficult to see the raisins. With 7-Up being clear, it's a more impressive demonstration. And you can drink your experiment when you're done!

The bubbles will stick to the raisin and bring it to the top, the bubbles will then pop, and the raisin will float back down.
