Unit 5 - Accel Science

 Define: dew point, relative humidity, specific humidity, saturated air, psychrometer

2. Explain how clouds form. Describe the conditions needed to form clouds and the processes that allow air to rise to form them

3. Give the formula for relative humidity and be able to use this to calculate the relative humidity

5. Be able to read/draw a phase change graph and to explain what happens when water goes from one state into another

6. Define: latent heat, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, adiabatic cooling

7. Be able to read a dew point chart, relative humidity table, and the capacity vs. temperature graph

8. Describe the processes that produce precipitation and how different types of precipitation form
