Relative Humidity, Dew Point and Cloud Formation Lab

In this Relative Humidity, Dew Point and Cloud Formation Lab, students investigate the process by which rising air becomes saturated, leading to the formation of clouds. Taking the learning outdoors, they utilize a sling psychrometer to measure both wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperatures.
