Watch water droplets levitate and dance on a scorching surface—this is the Leidenfrost effect, where heat meets science and things get weird.

QuickScience Part 6 - Moving water with a straw! This is the magic of a siphon in action! By trapping the water in the straw and then releasing it over the second glass, we allow gravity to pull the liquid down, while the atmospheric pressure pushes it from the first glass. Essentially, the water is being 'pulled' from one container to another through the straw. #QuickScience #scienceisfun #scienceexperiment #kidsactivities #sciencefun #stemactivities #scienceforkids #stemeducationforkids #steme
