Data Harvest Temperature Sensor – Fast Response (Exposed Thermistor) [3101 / 2513]

The Data Harvest Fast Response Temperature Sensor is a highly sensitive and responsive sensor designed for accurate measurement of rapid temperature changes. Featuring an exposed thermistor, this sensor reacts quickly to even small variations in temperature, making it ideal for investigative and comparative experiments in school science laboratories.

Its fast response time makes it particularly well suited for measuring skin surface temperatures, monitoring changes caused by physical activity, and recording air temperature in confined or tight spaces. The sensor provides reliable real‑time data that helps students visualise temperature variation clearly during practical work.

Designed for use with Data Harvest data logging systems, this sensor supports engaging, hands‑on learning while helping students link experimental results directly to key scientific principles.
