Exhibit
Heliostat: Tracks the Sun and focuses it’s light onto target.
Sun
IR Camera
Screen shows IR Image
Exhibit (TBD)
We would like to use the IR Camera with the Heliostat to show that sunlight can produce heat.
QuickTime™ and a decompressor

Survey
1. Direct visitors to the two bowls of water and ask: “Can you tell me the difference between these two bowls of water just by looking at the screen”
1a. “What do the colors mean?”
(If incorrect, ask them to feel the water and repeat 1a)
2. Direct visitors to the lamp and ask: “If I shine the lamp on the tabletop, what will the screen show?”
2a.”Why?” “Where is the heat coming from?”
3. After letting them play with the two demos (water and light), ask what they liked best and if they have any suggestions for improvement.
