Wood and feather are good insulators because their materials do not have particles which are free to move. In addition the branched and layered structure of feathers means that they trap a lot of air pockets which makes them even better at trapping heat.

Why are feathers good insulators?
Feathers are good insulators because they trap air. Motionless air is a very good insulator.
What are three good insulators of heat?
Three good insulators of heat are, maybe plastic, wood and glass! That's all I can think of right now but plastic and wood are very good insulators (etc. used of saucepan handles)
What are good insulators?
Good insulators include glass, styrofoam, plastic, wood, rubber, cloth, air, glass, and etc. It really depends on what you want to use it for. For example, fiberglass or styrofoam works the best as heat insulators. And rubber or glass as electric insulators.
What materials make the best conductors and insulators?
Conductors- Most types of metal. Copper and Aluminium are used these days. Silver is a very good conductor but it is expensive. Insulators- rubber, plastic and wood are good insulators in the solid state.

Are glass and wood good insulators?
Yes they r
What is in an example of a good insulator?
A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators; feathers and wool make good thermal insulators.
What isn't a good conductor of heat?
Insulators, such as wood aren't very good conductors of heat.
What materlials make good insulators for a science fair project?
Rubber Wood
What are some good insulators that people use everyday?
