    Water Vapor and Humidity Powerpoint

    This document defines key terms related to water vapor and humidity. It explains that water vapor is invisible water gas that forms when liquid water evaporates or boils. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, and affects the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. Evaporation changes water from liquid to gas and is driven by energy from the sun. Condensation is the reverse process where water vapor changes back to liquid water, as seen on cold surfaces. Relative humidity compares the actual moisture in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature, and condensation occurs when air reaches 100% relative humidity.

    The key terms discussed are water vapor, humidity, evaporation, condensation, and relative humidity.

    The main terms related to the water cycle that are discussed are water vapor, humidity, evaporation, condensation, and relative humidity.

    To create a cloud in a bottle, you add warm water to represent water vapor, then add smoke particles and squeeze the bottle to lower the air pressure inside, causing the water vapor to condense into droplets.

    Water Vapor and

    Humidity

    Vocabulary

    Water vapor
    Humidity
    Evaporation
    Condensation
    Relative Humidity

    Vocabulary Review
    Water Vapor- is the water
    in the form of a gas.
    Water vapor can be
    produced from evaporation
    or boiling of the liquid form
    of water.
    Water vapor is invisible.

    When a
    puddle dries
    out, do you
    see the
    water
    disappear
    into the air?
    Thats
    water
    vapor.

    Vocabulary continued
    Humidity- the amount of
    water vapor in the air.
    Humidity shows the
    likelihood of precipitation,
    dew, or fog.

    Vocab. Continued
    Evaporation- is the process
    where water changes from
    a liquid to a gas or vapor.
    Evaporation is the primary
    way that water moves from
    the liquid state back into
    the water cycle as water
    vapor.
    It takes a lot of energy and
    the primary energy source
    is the sun.

    Vocab. Continued
    Condensation- is the
    change of water from its
    gaseous form (water vapor)
    into liquid water.
    Condensation can be
    seen on:
    1. Shower doors
    2. Cold drink glasses
    3. Dew on grass

    Vocab. Continued
    Relative Humidity- is the
    amount of moisture in the
    air compared to what the
    air can "hold" at that
    temperature. When the air
    can't "hold" all the
    moisture, then it condenses
    as dew.
    What do you think will
    happen when air reaches
    100% humidity?

    If you were on
    this bridge what
    would you see
    and feel all
    around you?
    What is fog
    made of?
    If you had a
    cold glass of
    water on a hot
    day what would
    you see and feel
    on the outside
    of the glass?
    What is a humid
    day like? Where
    is the moisture
    on a humid
    day?

    Lets Make a Puddle


    First think about why you
    think a puddle forms
    around a frosty/ cold drink.
    Where do you think the
    puddle came from?

    Do you think we would get
    the same results on a
    cooler day? On a warmer
    day?
    Do you get the same
    results on a humid day as a
    dry day?

    1. bottle one-third full of warm water and place the cap on.
    As warm water evaporates, it adds water vapor to the air
    inside the bottle. This is the first ingredient to make a
    cloud.
    2. Squeeze and release the bottle and observe what
    happens. Youll notice that nothing happens. Why? The
    squeeze represents the warming that occurs in the
    atmosphere. The release represents the cooling that
    occurs in the atmosphere. If the inside of the bottle
    becomes covered with condensation or water droplets,
    just shake the bottle to get rid of them.
    3. Take the cap off the bottle. Carefully light a match and
    hold the match near the opening of the bottle.
    4. Then drop the match in the bottle and quickly put on the
    cap, trapping the smoke inside. Dust, smoke or other
    particles in the air is the second ingredient to make a
    cloud.
    5. Once again, slowly squeeze the bottle hard and release.
    What happens? A cloud appears when you release and
    disappears when you squeeze. The third ingredient in
    clouds is a drop in air pressure.

    CLOUD IN A
    BOTTLE

    EXPLANATION

    Water vapor, water in its invisible


    gaseous state, can condense into the
    form of small cloud droplets. By
    adding particles such as the smoke
    enhances the process of water
    condensation and by squeezing the
    bottle causes the air pressure to
    drop. This creates a cloud!

    Answer these
    questions on a
    post- it

    1. What causes water vapor to


    change into droplets of
    liquid water?
    2. How is relative humidity
    different from humidity?
