Inspiration
I drew inspiration from this one from Nickelodeon's Avatar the last Airbender and my cub scout experiences.
Materials
Water faucet
Plastic Comb
Wool scarf - to rub some electrons off with
Notes
The physics here involve building up a static charge by rubbing the comb and wool together for a bit and holding it near running water. Due to the polarized nature of water while in a thin stream you can used the static charge to draw the stream very visibly. Be careful not to pull it too close because if the water hits the comb it will neutralize your nice charge and negate the effect. This method also works great for zapping an unsuspecting sister in the ear for an unscientific yelp.
