*sample worksheet attached.

Illustrate how to use sling psychrometers.

Guided Practice

Have students hypothesize the relative humidity of indoor versus outdoor areas at school, different

rooms in the building (bathrooms, classrooms, hallways, etc.), determining their own test areas. Use

the sling psychrometers and charts to collect data and analyze.

Independent
