Teabag Rockets

Today for science we did teabag rockets, Teabag rockets are when you light teabags on fire with lighters/matches.

Aim: To observe convection in real life

Equipment: lighter/matches, teabag, heatmat, scissors

Hypothesis: I think that the teabags are going to fly in the air then disappear when it coolsdown

Steps

1.  get your  scissors and cut the top of your teabag

2. tip out the tea in the teabag and then fold it out and put it carefully on the heatmat

3. carefully with your matches or lighters light your teabag on fire

4. watch your teabag fly away then dissapear when it flys away

5. you can do it with as many as you want

conclusion: I found that it was really easy to do and i would do it again i watched it convect and increace in size then dissapear, convetion is where something heats up and then floats but when something cools down it sinks to the bottom.
