Infrared Thermometer
 The Infrared Thermometer is a non-contact, fast-responding,
temperature measuring device. The sensor works by measuring the infrared
radiation emitted by objects. For most objects, you simply point the sensor
at the object and read its temperature. Here are a few example uses of the
sensor:
- You can easily investigate skin temperature. Compare the temperature
of your palm to the back of your hand, your forearm, or your foot.
- Demonstrate that most objects in the room are at equilibrium. What is
the temperature of the table top that feels cold? Compare its temperature
to the temperature of the wall, the floor, or a book.
- Measure temperatures of hard-to-reach objects such as heating and
cooling ducts.
- Compare the surface temperatures of cars parked in the sun. Does colour
affect the surface temperature? Is the surface hot enough to cook an egg?
- On a sunny day, compare the temperature of asphalt, concrete, and
grass.
