When we light the tea bag on fire, the density between the warm and cool air is what causes the tea bag rocket to fly.
You start by unfolding your tea bag into a cylinder shape,
and then lighting your tea bag on fire.
Do this on both sides so it burns evenly. It will burn down close to the bottom until it flies.
The tea bag experiment works because as the fire burns down,
it produces warm air.
Cold air rushes underneath the tea bag. As the air molecules spread out the air inside the tea bag becomes less dense.

The remaining part of the tea bag is light and is easy to lift,
sending what is left of the tea bag into
the air.
