A student carries out an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of fusion of ice.
They melt ice in a funnel using an electrical immersion heater and collect the meltwater in a beaker. Their calculated value for the specific latent heat of fusion is significantly lower than the accepted textbook value.
State two improvements the student could make to the apparatus or procedure to obtain a value closer to the accepted textbook value.
