Place the wax in the pan and heat it until it melts. Then pour the wax into the graduated cylinder and measure its volume.
Measure the wax's temperature. Then heat it until it melts and weigh it on the scales.
Place the wax in the pan and heat it until it starts to melt. Then measure its temperature.
