A STEM lab Archimedes Screw is used to demonstrate lifting water (or other materials like grain/slurry) from a lower to a higher elevation, a principle vital for irrigation, wastewater treatment plants, and even some amusement park rides, showcasing simple machines, fluid dynamics, and mechanical engineering by trapping and raising small volumes with each rotation of a helical screw inside a tube.
