Rocket Tea Bag

Materials:

1 Tea bag
Matches
Adult Supervision

What To Do:

1. Remove string and tag from tea bag.
2. Remove the staples and clean out the tea leaves.
3. Make the teabag material into a tube shape by putting your finger in it.
4. Stand the tube up vertically.
5. Ignite the rocket by lighting the top end of the tea bag tube.
6. Stand back!

My Prediction:

I think when the teabag is lit the fire will burn down and when it gets near the bottom it will rise up into the air.

I think that it will rise up because hot air rises and hot air will make it rise.

We had three tries at this and two of them succeeded. The first one fell over and burnt the newspaper and then the other two we stood up on Slinky’s book!
