Year 2 Tea Bag Investigation 2017

[ads_color_box color_background=”#ebebeb” color_text=”#424242″]

Last week, we had a little bit of a problem at BH!

In the staff room there were no teabags as someone had bought loose tea by mistake, rather than teabags.

When you make tea with loose leaves the tea leaves stay at the bottom. The teachers were worried they would drink them accidentally and they don’t taste nice!

    We carried it out by wraping the lose tea with the different materials and tied it with a elastic band and peg.
    We tested paper towel, kitchen roll,tissue paper and toilet paper.
    Kitchen roll was the best.
    Kitchen roll was the most suitable one becuase it didn’t let the little bits come in.
    Tissue paper,paper towel and toilet paper weren’t the best because it ripped easily and let little bits in.

    We tested paper,grees proof paper,towel paper, tissue paper and tin foil.
    The tin foil and the grees proof paper won’t absorbent but the
    towel paper, tissue paper were suitable for a tea bag.
    The towel paper and tissue paper were good for a tea bag because they won’t waterproof.
    The grees proof paper and the tin foil won’t good for a tea bag because they were waterproof.

    We tested material which are paper and paper towels.
    The best one was the paper towels because when we dip a little bit of tea and we put it in the water and the paper towel can break and the tea will come out.

    We tested materails.
    We tested the tissue paper tinfoil and tissue ,peg.
    we had to get any materials and get a tea bag, put the material in, wrap it up and get a pegclip and test it.
    The Paper towel was the best and sutible because it riped and let the tea bag in the water.The tin foil did not work because it did not rip.

    1. We have tested tin foil, greaseproof paper, toilet paper and kitchen roll.
    2. The tin foil and greaseproof were both waterproof, because no flavour of the tea came out, but Toilet paper and kitchen roll were absorbent, because the flavour went into the cup.
    3. Kitchen roll was best for tea bag, because it gave more flavour than any other materials.
    4.Tin foil and greaseproof paper were not suitable for the tea bag because it did not let most of the flavour.
