    This document provides instructions and questions for students to construct a hygrometer to measure humidity as part of a classroom activity. It guides students through building the hygrometer in steps, asking questions along the way to check understanding of how humidity affects the hygrometer and can be measured. Students are asked to make predictions and observations about how the hygrometer's pointer will move in different humidity conditions.

    Constructing a Hygrometer

    Name: ____________________________
    Date: _____________________________

    Attempt this worksheet in tandem with the class discussion and construction of the hygrometer, as
    per the corresponding steps. The answers and concepts relevant to the question will be revealed
    verbally by your teacher throughout the course of this experiment.

    [After Step 5]

    We felt and saw that water gets in the air by us breathing out. Do you know any other processes that
    add water vapor to the air?

    [During Step 12]

    What do you think will happen to the pointer if the hair expands (becomes longer) or contract
    (becomes shorter)? Why do you think this, and how can this help us measure humidity?

    Discuss ideas with your partners and write down what you think on your worksheet. Make a sketch
    of how you think your hygrometer will look in dry and humid conditions.

    [During Step 16]


    The pointer should have moved up at least a tiny bit. How and why did the pointer move when you
    blew warm air onto the hair?

    [During Step 17]

    How and why does the pointer move? Why does this happen?
    Discuss ideas with your partner and write them down on your worksheet.

    Make a quick sketch of how your instrument looks in humid conditions.


    See if your prediction was correct. If it was not, try to explain why it was not.
