Steam rises when heated air meets colder air. However, steam as a vapor is continually cooling and dissipating (e.g. thinning out until it is invisible). So you cannot "catch" steam. The only way you could possibly catch steam is to control the temperature on both sides--- the heated and cooler side---which would be difficult to do or maintain without sophisticated equipment.
A science experiment:
Ask permission from an adult first!
You'll need:
- a jar with a lid
- a stop watch
- warm clothes and coat
- cold outside temperatures -- cold enough that "vapor" comes from your mouth when you breathe out
- assistance from an adult
Dress warmly, and go outside with an adult, a jar with lid, and the stop watch. Have the adult help you with the glass jar so you don't drop it. Press the stop watch so it starts. Breathe out so the mist goes directly into the jar. Time how long it takes until you cannot see any more vapor inside the jar. Click the stop watch to OFF but don't erase the time yet. Go back inside to the warmth with your jar.
On paper, write down how long it took before you could not see the steam inside the jar. Write why you think the vapor went away so quickly. What do you think would happen if the glass was cooler at the time you start the experiment... try it (with an adult's help) !
Since vapor or steam contains water particles, what do you think you might see on the inside of the glass jar if the glass was cold to start but you brought it back into the warm house before all the vapor disappeared? If you see water particles, or condensation, form inside, you could get a tiny measuring spoon (such as 1/4th teaspoon size) and measure the amount of water droplets that formed. Or, cut two 3-inch narrow pieces of tissue paper---how much of the 3-inches gets wet when you touch it against the water droplets until there are no more droplets that you can see. Put the tissue paper on your notebook paper with a small piece of tape, and draw a line for how far the water went up to make the paper wet. (Use a second piece of tissue paper to collect more water from the jar.) Think about these results-- what questions it brings up, or the conclusions you can make from this experiment. Remember to show your teacher what you documented on paper.
What else can I help you with?
Can steam Burn paper?
Yes, steam can burn paper if it is hot enough. The heat from the steam can cause the paper to ignite and catch fire. It is important to be cautious when working with steam near flammable materials like paper.
How is steam created in a steam engine?
Steam is created in a steam engine by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam then builds up pressure, which is used to power the engine and drive machinery.
How is steam made in a steam engine?
Steam in a steam engine is made by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam is then directed into a cylinder where it pushes a piston, creating mechanical energy that powers the engine.
What is the effect of dry steam entry in to a wet steam filled vessel whether it promotes condensation in the vessel?
When dry steam enters a wet steam filled vessel, it can cause the wet steam to condense as the dry steam releases its latent heat energy to the surrounding wet steam. This condensation increases the moisture content in the vessel and may lead to water accumulation.
What are some words that create the sound of steam?
There are no words that create the sound of steam, steam is silent.
What is the first steam-powered called?
Catch me who catch can
Does using frozen peas catch all of the steam?
I think so. If you had a kettle and you put frozen peas over the steam, I think it would catch every part. I'm not sure though.
How do you catch the ghost in steamworks on poptropica?
There are no ghost on steam work island
Can steam Burn paper?
Yes, steam can burn paper if it is hot enough. The heat from the steam can cause the paper to ignite and catch fire. It is important to be cautious when working with steam near flammable materials like paper.
Can anything catch on fire if left on a steam heated radiator or by being next to it like a window curtain?
No
How do you make ocean water safe to drink?
Boiling it and catching the steam makes it safe. The steam will not have the salt in it so it will be safe to drink. So all you need to do is figure out a still arrangement to catch the steam and allow it to cool itself back into water.
How do you separate muddy sea water to clean sea water?
You use distillation. Boil water and catch the subsequent steam. The steam will not contain the salt, which does not evaporate. Condense the steam and it will be pure water: 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen.Read more: How_do_you_separate_water_from_sea_water
Is steam water vaouper?
Yes, it is. As steam is given of, if you get a plastic bag and place it over the top, you catch water vapour and you will see water droplets inside it.
When the water boils place a plastic sheet over the beaker to catch the steam why?
Placing a plastic sheet over the beaker helps to trap the steam, preventing it from escaping into the surrounding environment. This can be useful for certain experiments where it's important to capture and measure the amount of steam produced, or to create a controlled environment for the reaction taking place in the beaker.

What is steam accumulator?
A steam accumulator on some once through boilers, with no steam/water drum, is a device similar to a steam separator, which separates the steam and water before the steam is fed to the steam header.
How do you calculate conversion of steam to condensate?
To calculate the conversion of steam to condensate, you can use the formula: Steam Converted to Condensate = Steam Inlet - Steam Outlet This formula subtracts the amount of steam leaving the system (Steam Outlet) from the amount of steam entering the system (Steam Inlet) to determine the amount of steam that has been converted to condensate.
