SAFETY TIPS FOR TEA BAG ROCKET
• Flammable surfaces: DO NOT light tea bags on a flammable surface. Experiment should be conducted on a fireproof surface, like a metal pan.
• Smoke detectors: Do not light tea bags under or near smoke detectors
• Safety Glasses: Safety glasses should be used
• Touching fire: Do not allow anyone else to touch the lighter or the burning tea bag
• Falling ash: Be aware! Some ashes may be produced from the teabag, and they may fly into the air.
