Search Omega they make these products, most likely a bi-metal type sensor.
Measure the resistance and note the change when warmed or cooled.

It is probably a simple thermocouple as I mentioned, you could just measure the resistance on the range you want to measure and use that for a analogue input to and op-amp or what ever device or method of recording the output you intend.
