Learners use a 24-hour graph of air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point to describe at least one reason why the variables change (or don't change) during the day. They use given scenarios to identify and describe the problems...
Curated OER
Dew Point
Fourth graders investigate saturation conditions and measure the dew point. They conduct an experiment, record data on a worksheet, and measure the dew point in the experiment.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Students conduct an experiment to determine dew point and use a formula to detemine altitude. They construct a chart and predict what altitude clouds would form, given the dew point on the ground.
Curated OER
Physical Characteristics of the Troposphere
Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.
Curated OER
Estimating Altitude of Water Cloud Base
Students perform an experiment to find the dew point at ground level and then make a chart to determine where a cloud would form.
