Does dark coloured clothing really absorb more light? How much more light energy is absorbed and converted into heat for dark coloured clothing as compared to light coloured clothing? In this course, participants will have hands-on experience with PocketLab sensors, products of STEM applications, to investigate the relationship between heat conductance, light and colour. Instead of learning about the relationship qualitatively, actual measurements will be taken and conclusions will be drawn from collected evidence.

1. To introduce the course participants to PocketLab.


2. To design experiments for investigating the relationship between heat conductance, amount of light, and colour.


3. To analyse the data for interpretations and drawing conclusion based on evidence.
