Describes an inexpensive and versitile interface which can be readily adapted to many on-line experimental projects in scientific fields by educators who are not computer experts. Hardware and software requirements are noted. (JN)

Describes the functioning of temperature transducers, or thermistors. Discusses the interface connections between thermistors and the game-port of several kinds of microcomputers. Demonstrates how to construct a thermistor probe and suggests several applications of the use of such probes in various scientific experiments. (TW)
