Thermal Cameras in Science Education

This book presents a collection of educational research and developmental efforts on the rapidly emerging use of infrared cameras and thermal imaging in science education.

It provides an overview of infrared cameras in science education to date, and of the physics and technology of infrared imaging and thermography.

It discusses different areas of application of infrared cameras in physics, chemistry and biology education, as well as empirical research on students’ interaction with the technology.

It ends with conclusions drawn from the contributions as a whole and a formulation of forward-looking comments.
