Why is ice kept in saw dust?
Because saw dust is a decent insulator, acts like a natural cooler.
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.
Is ice a poor conductor of heat?
Yes. Ice conducts heat poorly, snow even more so - snow is a great insulator. one of the best! Ice has a high specific heat too (it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of ice).
What is the name of the process of ice melting to water?
Melting
The melting point of ice is a property?
The melting of ice is a physical property
Is an ice chest an conductor or an insulator?
Insulator
Does ice melt faster on an insulator or conductor?
Conductor
Is a ice?
Is a cooler a insulator or conductor
Why is ice kept in saw dust?
Because saw dust is a decent insulator, acts like a natural cooler.
Is ice a better conductor than copper?
No, Ice is a good insulator and copper is a very good conductor
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.

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.
How does ice cream bake in the oven without melting?
the only way it would not melt is if it were an insulator or it were covered in meringue.
How does Ice Melt work to melt ice?
Ice melt contains a chemical that lowers the melting point of the mixture of water and itself. In doing so it prevents the ice from forming again and keeps the water liquid.
Does news paper keep ice from melting?
Layers of newspaper can act as a primitive cooler if you wrap ice in them. The more newspaper, the better, but it won't keep it from melting as long as a styrofoam or plastic cooler would.
What does melting ice do?
Melting ice turns the ice into water.
