Method
You are investigating how the resistance of a thermistor is affected by its temperature
Choose a temperature using the slider.
Read the thermistor resistance from the ohmmeter.
Type your temperature (°C) and resistance (kΩ) into the table.
Repeat for at least 6 temperatures.
Plot a graph of Resistance against Temperature
