Leslie’s cube, insulation, heat along a metal rod, Hershel’s discovery, Stefan-Boltzmann law, residual heat, efficiency of filament lamps, warm and cold-blooded animals, human body heat-loss and disaster victims are just some of the investigations which can be done with this sensor.
Being wireless allows pupils to investigate the IR coming from surfaces inside and out e.g. when looking at heat-loss from buildings and comparing results from their own insulation experiments. It also allows a demonstration such as Leslie’s cube to be set up anywhere in the laboratory.
