Osmosis Demonstration-Jenny

Below is the video that I used to demonstrate Osmosis. On the left is a raisin, and on the right is a dried cranberry. Although it is difficult to tell, the two foods are expanding. This is happening because water is gradually seeping into the food's cells. The cells have a membrane that allow water to pass, and as a result, the cells expand and burst. Our foods do not burst like some do, but they do slowly expand.
(I apologize for the bad quality, but the two foods are in fact expanding).
