Resistivity/Resistance investigation - Length vs. Resistance of pencil graphite

(0)
I made a PowerPoint a few years back on how to make a resistor with pencils. Here are (differentiated) instructions explaining to students how to carry out the investigation. Included is the original publisher file if you want to edit it. If you don't have publisher a PDF is also included! To do this experiment you will need a digital multimeter that can measure resistance.
