How to Make a Teabag Rocket
by Sam and Rokko on Sep 03, 2007 with 6 Comments
Have fun making this easy teabag rocket that really works!
Equipment
- A teabag
- A match or a lighter
- A flat level area (eg. A table, shelf, etc.)
Method
- Gently undo the staple that is holding the tea bag together. If you rip the bag start again on a different teabag.
- Unfold the teabag and remove the tea leaves from inside. Again make sure you don’t rip it.
- Place your fingers inside the paper and try to make it as round as possible.
- Stand it up on a table (vertical ways) and shut all doors, windows and make sure everyone watching does not talk or move as this can knock it over.
- Light the top of your rocket and slowly walk back.
- If you have done it correctly after its 2/3s burnt the rocket should float up into the air all by itself and then disappear.
