Discusses the methods the human body uses to regulate body temperature. Includes links to the four external heat transfer mechanisms (radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation of perspiration).
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Stem Resources: Relative Humidity Measurement
Using the wet bulb-dry bulb method, students will compare the temperature of a dry temperature sensor and a wet temperature sensor. By comparing the temperatures, students will be able to find the relative humidity. After completing the...
Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Mellon: Vapor Pressure Tank
Basic design of a demonstration machine that will lower the vapor pressure and cause water to evaporate at room temperature.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Molecular Workbench Showcase: Chemistry, Vapor Pressure
A series of virtual experiments that show students the power and importance of evaporation.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Wet Sand / Dry Sand
In this activity, Students can use temperature sensors to compare the heating rates of wet sand and dry sand. They will use the results of the experiment to understand more about the effects of evaporation.
