Try a real siphon and watch water flow from a higher bucket to a lower one using gravity and a simple hand pump.
Start the Siphon is a hands-on water science activity where guests use a bulb siphon to move water from an upper bucket into a lower bucket. With just a few squeezes, the water begins flowing through the tube, creating a fun and surprising demonstration that feels a little like magic.
This activity gives students a chance to experiment with gravity, height, and fluid movement in a way they can see for themselves. It is quick to try, easy to understand, and satisfying to watch, making it a great fit for STEAMfest guests of many ages.
STEAMteam
STEAMfest is made possible with the help of hundreds of organizations and volunteers, both within the Woodlawn School Community and without. The STEAMteam is responsible for the planning, promotion, organization, and execution of STEAMfest.
Each year the STEAMteam creates a number of activity booths based on the teams skills and experience.
