Weather Cycles
Investigate and track weather conditions over time.
Lab Summary
In this exploration, students use humidity and barometer sensors, measuring temperature, relative humidity, dew point, absolute humidity, and barometric pressure, to track weather conditions.
This activity helps students understand how these measurements relate to weather conditions that exist at a specific location.
