Peer reviewedSunal, Dennis W., Ed.; Tracy, Dyanne M., Ed. – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Describes an activity in which the students utilize the mathematics concepts of ratio, proportion, and data tabulation to examine the relationship between air pressure, temperature, and humidity. Students learn to approximate partial pressure by using humidity and temperature readings and by interpolating from the vapor pressure-temperature table.…
