Condensation Experiment: Demonstrating Water Vapor to Liquid Transition #98668 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration shows a classic condensation experiment: a kettle boils water, producing steam that rises and contacts a cold metal strainer held above. The strainer, chilled by ice cubes, causes the water vapor to cool rapidly and condense into liquid droplets, which then fall into a graduated beaker below. The setup visually demonstrates phase change from gas to liquid, reinforcing core concepts in thermodynamics and the water cycle.

Used in K-12 science curricula and online STEM resources to illustrate condensation, phase transitions, and the water cycle; ideal for lesson plans, lab instructions, or interactive e-learning modules where users seek visual explanations of physical processes.
