Re: homemade thermometer materials
This http://www.adafruit.com/products/269 should get you started. You will also need something to communicate with it, like this http://www.adafruit.com/products/50

Re: homemade thermometer materials
More generally, you'll need one of two devices:
1) A thermistor: a resistor whose properties change in a predictable way relative to temperature.
2) A thermocouple: a junction between two metals with different electronegativities that generates current in a predictable way when exposed to heat.
There are other ways to sense heat, but those are the most common.
