How do you make a simple container that prevents ice from melting?
To stop ice from melting you are going to have to stop heat getting to it so you need to wrap it in a good insulator. Wrapping the ice in bubble wrap or putting it in a box made from polystyrene foam would work well, the thicker the insulator the better! A waterproof insulator is good because water is quite a good conductor of heat, if you say wrapped it in straw then the water released from the first bit of ice would soak into the straw and make it a less good insulator allowing more ice to melt. You could get around this by putting the ice in a plastic bag and wrapping the bag in an insulator that wasn't waterproof. For any container the more ice you have in it at the start the longer some will last. Ice can be kept in a high quality vacuum flask for quite a long time but if you are looking to make it yourself then it would be far from simple.
Why is glass a good insulator for ice?
It's not. When you put ice in a glass the glass quickly becomes cold. Glass actually is a good insulator because in the summer when you have the air conditioner on in your house, glass keeps the hot air out and the cool air in.
Why is ice kept in saw dust?
Because saw dust is a decent insulator, acts like a natural cooler.

How do you make a insulator that can not make ice melt?
to make an insulator prevent ice from not melting is to use tinfoil and dirt.

Is ice a better conductor than copper?
No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor
How does the layer of ice slows down the complete freezing of the water in the pond?
The ice layer act as an insulator.
Why eskimos make double walled houses of blocks of ice?
Ice is readily available for them, and it is a good insulator.
Why are blocks of ice wrapped in thick jute cloth when they are transported?
The jute acts as an insulator and it slows the melting of the ice.
