Difficult to ensure that all liquid is at the same temperature
conducted
2. Glass is a
good insulator so it takes time for heat to be
making it slow to respond to temperature

NOTE : Ice is not
only melting due to heat from the heater but also due to heat absorbed from the surroundings .
Hence we take 2 sets of readings to account for ice melted due to this heat .
