Thanks to cell phones, kids are constantly preoccupied. But I have finally found one way to impress the youngsters by showing how ordinary objects can become magical. Our friend DaveHax of YouTube reveals a great after-dinner science experiment that will amaze both kids and adults alike — so, naturally, I had to share it immediately.
In the video, he shows you how to make a mini-rocket out of a tea bag. Yeah, you read that correctly. When he lights the bag, it actually looks like indoor fireworks. This is so magical and really is a fun activity to do, especially if you have grandkids.
Simply start by cutting the tea bag open and emptying out the contents. Stand the empty tube up and then use a long reach lighter to light the top. As the tea bag burns, it creates a heat current which lifts the ash, almost like a hot air balloon.
This awesome science trick is such a wonderful way to make great memories with your grandkids. They'll likely be running to their friends, bragging about your "magic" tricks. Although this is a simple and easy trick, just exercise extreme caution. Make sure you don't do it around anything that can catch fire or burn.
Please SHARE this awesome how-to video with everyone you know.
