Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.
This experiment works by assuming a heat balance. You assume that all of the heat in the iron goes into the water and that none of it leaves the system, so you want your experimental apparatus to be as insulating as possible.If you use a cup with poorer insulative properties, you will estimate a lower value for the specific heat of iron. The styrofoam cup is not a perfect insulator, but it is better than plastic or ceramic.You can get a feel for this by pouring three cups of kettle water into plastic, ceramic and styrofoam cups. Leave them sit for a set time. Which one feels the hottest? That one is the best insulator. Which one feels the coolest? That one is the poorest insulator.
Putting the cup in the freezer keeps ice from melting. Those cups will slow down the melting rate, but if you've got ice at room temperature it's gonna melt eventually. Having said that, ice will melt slowest in a styrofoam cup.
The breaking of a glass is a physical change because it involves the glass changing its shape and structure without undergoing a chemical reaction. The chemical composition of the glass remains the same before and after it breaks.
Glass because it is a poor conductor of heat. Aluminum is highly conductive, which means that when you pick it up the heat from your hand would move quickly through the aluminum and into your drink.

the answer is styrofoam idiots
A styrofoam cup is a better insulator than glass because it has a lower thermal conductivity. This means that it is less effective at transferring heat energy from the hot chocolate to the surrounding environment. Glass, on the other hand, has a higher thermal conductivity and allows heat to escape more easily. Therefore, the hot chocolate will stay warmer for longer in a styrofoam cup compared to a glass.
styrofoam
styrofoam keeps the water warm hahAHAHAHA
Styrofoam cups and caps. It keeps the heat in.
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
not sure but i think styrofoam or thermocol
The styrofoam is an insulator, so it keeps the heat in.
Because syrofoam is a good insulator so it keeps most of the heat in the calorimeter. It also has a low specific heat
a lot
