Tea Bag Rockets

Tea Bag Rockets

Kia ora, today in chemistry we did a tea bag rocket experiment.

We did this to observe convection in real life.

Equipment:  Lighter, Tea Bag and a heat proof mat.
                                         
First we took all the leaves out of the tea bag and turned the bag into a cylinder. We then set the top of the tea bag on fire and saw it fly into the ceiling. 

This is because the particles got lighter, split apart and started moving faster.
