Hi please help I have to do a piece of coursework on sensors. I am testing a thermistor and my teacher mentioned something about calibration but I don't know what it is can someone help please. I have taken results for the resistances for every ten degrees from 0 to 150

Emerse your sensor in a water/ice chip mix to find the value at 0C. This will calibrate your scale.
