how does a tea bag fly?



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.
Thank you for reading if you have any question or things I could improve on please comment.

An explanation on how to make chocolate

An explanation on how to make chocolate                                                    


Chocolate production starts with cocoa pods being harvested cocoa is grown in tropical areas and
take almost 5 months to grow before they are ready to be harvested.


Once the beans are separated from the pod, they are fermented and then set in the sun to dry out.
                              
The beans are then transported to chocolate factories where they are sorted,
cleaned an broken into small nibs, they are then made into a liquid called cocoa liquid.
Cocoa liquor can then be further produced into cocoa butter and cocoa powder.


Soon it is ready to be made into chocolate it is mixed in with other ingredients before then being
conched or tempered to make it smooth.

The liquid is then put into moulds and wrapped up to be sold.
