Background Information

• For our experiment we are going find the relative
  humidity and temperature at different elevations
  up to 1,000 ft using a lab pro
• We want to see if there is a relationship between
  the two.

4
Hypothesis

• Our hypothesis is that as the altitude of the
  balloon increases the temperature will stay the
  same but the relative humidity will decrease

5
Tests

• For our dry tests we tested the relative humidity
  around the room. We found that the humidity did
  not vary drastically
• For our actual balloon launch we tested the
  temperature and relative humidity up to 1,000 ft.

Conclusion

• After completing our experiment we found that our
  hypothesis was incorrect.
• The relative humidity of the air increased as the
  altitude increased also.
• Our dry tests were inconclusive because we did
  not increase in altitude.
• As the temperature decreased, the humidity
  increased.
