FLIR C2 Educational Thermal Camera Kit
Thermal Camera for the Classroom
What if there was a better way to teach students about temperature, thermal properties and heat transfer? FLIR thermal cameras help students to actually visualise heat, reinforcing your points and allowing you to increase engagement and student interest in your lessons. Students can get real, practical and easy-to-understand hands-on experience of how infrared works, all thanks to the power of FLIR's thermal cameras.
Features
Fully Radiometric Image
The FLIR C2 assigns every pixel in the image its own temperature reading. Show students how specific measurements are affected by a variety of sources.
Live Video Streaming
Plug your FLIR C2 into a computer/TV and show students how temperature changes.
Intuitive and Easy-To-Use
No special training required, just intuitive touchscreen and easy-to-understand buttons.
Lesson Guides
Lesson 1:
Friction
Traditionally, students can gain an understanding of how friction works at a basic level by rubbing their hands together and feeling how heat is generated. With a FLIR thermal camera, they can see exactly how much heat is generated by examining their hands afterwards using the thermal technology.
Eraser Test
Students should rub an eraser on a spot on a desk and observe how heat is generated as friction increases.
Ice Test
Using ice, students can rub the cube on a piece of the desk to see how the material gets colder over time. For maximum effect, this should be done after the eraser test to show how cooling affects friction.
Lesson 2:
Material Properties
Using a selection of materials such as wooden spoons, plastic or a metal strip, students will learn how heat travels from one material to another as objects are held.
Thermal Insulators & Conductors
After holding each material, students can understand how differential materials either insulate or conduct heat in different ways.
Knife Test
Teachers can also show students how heat works on a common kitchen knife by the teacher performing the test and students studying the results.
Lesson 3:
The Cup Test
Introduce students to how different types of material react to heat with this experiment. Using cups, teachers can task students with checking hot liquid in a plastic and ceramic cup. Students should discover that although a plastic cup will heat much quicker than a ceramic mug, a ceramic mug is much better at retaining heat for a longer period of time
Visualising Heat
With the FLIR C2, students can see how heat gradually increases and decreases over time as hot liquid is applied to the cups.
Easy, Interactive Lesson
The thermal camera opens up the lesson in a practicable, enjoyable way for students, rather than just studying a textbook.
