Experimenting

The last day we did the experiment to measure temperature and resistance. The purpose of this experiment was to find out what temperature corresponds to what resistance. To do this experiment we needed glycerol, a retort stand, a thermistor, temperature probes and data logging equipment, multimeter, test tube, hot plate, water and crocodile clips. The crocodile clips were connected onto the thermistor and put into the test tube with the water, the temperature probe was also put into the test tube, all data needed was then transferred to data logging equipment. The temperate and the corresponding resistance was then recorded for further reference. We recorded results for the temperature ranging from 0 - 65 degrees.
