Description
The workshop consists of more than twenty simple hands-on physics experiments that use a thermal imaging camera as a visualization tool. These experiments are grouped thematically into six experimental sets, namely: thermal conductivity, conversion of kinetic energy into internal energy, evaporation of liquids, light sources, heating by radiation and Joule heating. All the experiments are designed primarily for upper secondary students, but they are also usable with younger ones. The participants will be provided with a thermal imaging cameras and in groups of up to three will gradually explore a particular experimental set.
