Flying Tea Bag Rocket


Materials:

  • Tea bag
  • Nonflammable surface (a flat dinner plate works well)
  • Matches or lighter
  • Scissors


How to:
  1. Remove the staple, string, and label from the tea bag.
  2. If your bag of tea is not open on its ends, cut both ends off and empty out the tea into the trash.
  3. Unfold the bag of tea so that it is straight.
  4. Use your fingers to open up the bag. You will end up with a cylinder shape.
  5. Stand the cylinder on one end on your dinner plate.
  6. With a lighter, ignite the top of the cylinder.
  7. Watch the flame travel down from the top of the cylinder. The tea bag will rise up like a rocket! 


Explanation:

Air Density- the flame heats the air inside the cylinder. Warm air rises above the cooler, less dense air (convection currents). The tea bag then turns to ash that is super lightweight and is lifted by the smoke!

Fire Water Balloon

Materials The materials required for this science fair project: - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure 1. For this experiment, the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount of water in the balloon. 2. Inflate the yellow colored balloon and tie it up. 3. Pour half a cup of water into the blue colored balloon before inflating it to the same size as the yellow color balloon and tie it up. 4. Light up the candle. Be careful when using match sticks to avoid causing fires, or burning yourself. 5. Hold the yellow colored balloon on top of the lit candle. Observe and record what happens. 6. Hold the blue colored balloon on top of
