Studying energy is one of the most important science topics a student can learn. Not only is energy considered a Core Idea of science, but it is also a Cross Cutting Concept that affects understanding in other subjects. One of the most difficult things for students to understand is thermal energy. Our experiences with thermal energy and heat directly mislead our understanding of thermal energy. Specifically, cold does not exist, it is simply a lack of heat. However, we say every day "I'm cold," "it got cold," or "it feels cold". This means that to truly understand thermal energy, a student has to reteach their own senses! One sense that can help to rebuild the concept of heat for students is sight. If a student can see heat, they can also see heat leave and we can all say "bye bye" to the misconception of "getting cold." Help me to help your student see, experience, and understand thermal energy through a digital thermal camera.
