A student investigates how the temperature of solid stearic acid changes as it melts. The experimental setup is shown below:

Experimental setup showing a boiling tube of stearic acid heated in a water bath with a Bunsen burner

Suggest one alternative heat source that would allow the student to control the rate of heating more precisely and safely than a Bunsen burner.
