I will be explaining the Flying Teabag Experiment
We emptied out the teabag and stood it up on a piece of tinfoil so we didn't damage the table.
We got a fire lighter and lit the top of the teabag on both sides.
The fire started burning down because the next flammable molecule was down the teabag.
As it got nearer to the bottom of the teabag all of the cold air rushed through the bottom and the teabag flew into he air.
It did this because the hotter air wanted to stay at the top and the cold air was trying to get through which made it lift up.
After a few seconds the hot air cooled down and the burnt teabag fell back down to the ground and then the experiment was done.
Has anyone done this experiment. If so, what were your results?

Hi I like how you did lots of detail so we knew what had happened.
ReplyDeleteI have never done this experiment before but I think it would be something cool to do.
