Efficiency Means Getting More for Less
Young scholars measure water and make predictions about efficiency.
Curated OER
Relative Humidity of Your School
Pupils predict the location where the relative humidity the highest and lowest in and around their school. They use a sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity of the various locations.
