Cranberry Scientists: Size and Science
Cranberries are truly unique fruits, especially because of their amazing ability to bounce! This isn't magic; it's science. Inside each cranberry are tiny pockets of air. These air pockets make the cranberry less dense than water, which is why they float. Farmers use this when they harvest cranberries by flooding the fields. The air also acts like a natural spring, allowing the cranberry to bounce when it's ripe and...
How does knowing that cranberries bounce help farmers, and what does this tell us about the fruit's inside?

Read the size clue
Imagine a tiny, perfect red ball! A cranberry is about 15 millimeters wide, 15 millimeters high, and 15 millimeters deep. That's the same as 1.5 centimeters in each direction. To help you picture this, a cranberry is roughly the size of a common marble you might play with, or a large bead from a necklace. It's much smaller than a grape, but a bit bigger than a pea. So, when you see a cranberry, think of it as a perfect little sphere, just big enough to hold between your thumb and finger.
