Tea bag rocket

Tuesday afternoon when Clara was here we worked once again on the teabag rocket experiment.  We had tried it last week at her house, but I didn’t want to try it inside at their house, since it involved a flying flame.  And it was windy outside, so the tea bag kept blowing over.  AND the one time we got one to light, it didn’t work.  The instructions I’d read said some tea bags worked and some didn’t – I guess based on the material they were made out of?  Anyway, I got new Bigelow teabags to try, and they worked like a charm!  Clara said it was the coolest thing since Harry Potter :-).  Here she is lighting our experiment.
