A student investigates how the pressure of a fixed volume of gas changes with temperature.

They use the apparatus shown in the diagram below:

Diagram of the apparatus used to investigate how gas pressure varies with temperature. A round-bottomed glass flask filled with air is submerged in a beaker of water. The beaker sits on a tripod and gauze above a Bunsen burner. A thermometer is immersed in the water bath. A narrow delivery tube connects the top of the flask to a digital pressure sensor situated outside the beaker.

Suggest two ways the student could improve this investigation to obtain more accurate temperature and pressure measurements.
