Which structures in the city heat up the most? Find out for yourself!

Simulate the sun’s heat using a heat lamp and, with the help of a thermal imaging camera, investigate which structures and surfaces in the city heat up more than others.
What conclusions can we draw from this for our town planning, but also for front and back gardens, school playgrounds, etc.?

Children are using a thermal imaging camera to measure the surface temperature of various structures
