Thermography emerged as a practical tool to teach plant biology in higher education. Indeed, thermography can help to teach basic principles of plants' physiology such as their energy balance. The well-established fact that increased leaf temperature reflects stomatal closure, being therefore a measure of plants' response to drought, supports the relevance of the technique. Nowadays, affordable thermographic cameras allow to extend the use of this technology to secondary education. To achieve this goal, however, training high school science teachers is instrumental. We herein report and discuss a training action on the principles of thermography and their application to plant biology.

Smartphone thermal cameras can be used to observe heat transfer or thermal patterns in crystallization, evaporation, mixing of liquids, and chemical reactions. The experiments described in this paper demonstrate that IR imaging can provide students with rich learning and exploring opportunities that would otherwise be infeasible or too time-consuming. The precision and sensitivity of smartphone thermal cameras are sufficient for use in chemistry education. A smartphone thermal imaging accessory is worth introducing into the teaching laboratory.

“…Also the flow of thermal energy across a surface can be visualised. So far thermal imaging cameras have been proposed mainly for teaching physics [1,2,3]. There are very few publications in chemical education literature, one of them with focus on evaporation, condensation, latent heat, convection etc.…”

Thermal imaging cameras can be a very useful help when observing chemical experiments. They enable the observation of phenomena which are not visible to the human eye. In this paper a set of school experiments is described in which the use of a thermal imaging camera gives additional information on ongoing processes. Additionally an e-book that was designed as accompanying learning material is presented.
