 During a hot and sunny day, it seems that
sitting under a tree is much cooler
compared to the surrounding that is
exposed to sunlight.

Why this phenomenon occur?

WHAT IS RELATIVE HUMIDITY?
indicates how moist the air is.

definedas the ratio of the water vapor density to

the saturation water vapor density, usually
expressed in percent.

Datalogger refers to a battery powered device

equipped with sensors and a microprocessor to
monitor and record the relative humidity.
ENGAGE: WE NEED TO Relative humidity are
related to the
temperature.
CHILL RH will be higher at
night because of the
cool temperature.
Meanwhile, as for
sunny day, the RH
are opposite.
 PROBLEM
STATEMENT

DOES TEMPERATURE AFFECT RELATIVE

HUMIDITY?

Higher temperatures make higher levels

of humidity possible.This is because
warm air is capable of holding more
moisture than cold air. Warm air has a
stronger bond to water molecules,
making the air feel drier and allowing
more water to bond with air.

Procedure

1. Slip Probe 2 into a 5 cm of shoelace until the probe tip is at the middle of
shoelace piece as shown in Figure 1. Fasten the shoelace to the probe with masking
tape.

2. Connect the Temperature Probes. Start the Vernier data-collection program

(Logger Lite).
3. Wet the shoelace on Probe 2 by placing it into a beaker of water that is at or
above room temperature. Probe 1 is to stay dry.

4 . Click to begin data collection. Take a probe in each hand and gently wave
the probes in the air.

Procedure
5. Continue waving the probes until the
temperatures measures by both probes stop
changing, and then click to end data
collection. Record both final temperatures.

6. Choose Store Latest Run from the experiment

menu to store your data.

7. If time permits, repeat steps 3-6 for the next

two days and compare results.
