The Arduino is a low-cost microcontroller which is easy to adapt into a versatile data-logger. I aim to show that using very readily available NTC thermistors, which are regularly used in schools and colleges, we can make a temperature sensor allowing students to extend the classic resistance-temperature experiment into a useful digital thermometer that can be used in many other classroom experiments.
