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. http://pubs.sciepub.com/wjce/7/2/18/wjce-7-2-18.pdf thermal imaging camera thermal energy IR radiation energy turnover chemical reactions sensor hands-on experiments e-book digital media chemistry classroom
