Popsicle sticks are made out of White Birch.
The reason that Popsicle sticks are made out of wood is that the wood that they are made out of, (white birch), has a resistance to break and usually doesn't splinter into sharp and dangerous pieces.

As an individual stick, not very. Popsicle sticks are made of Yellow Poplar, a soft, not terribly strong wood. But with laminating by using glue, and basic structural principles, very strong objects can be built of popsicle sticks.
Yes, popsicle sticks can absorb heat because they are made of wood which is a good conductor of heat. When placed in a warm or hot environment, the popsicle stick will absorb some of the heat, causing it to increase in temperature.
It is not dangerous to burn popsicle sticks if they are made from wood and are burnt in a well ventilated area. If the sticks are plastic, you should not burn them. Whether the glue is dangerous depends on what sort of glue it is.
Popsicle sticks are typically made from birch wood rather than balsa wood. Birch is chosen for its strength, durability, and smooth finish, making it ideal for craft projects and food applications. Balsa wood, while lightweight and easy to cut, is not commonly used for popsicle sticks due to its softness and lower structural integrity.
Yes, Popsicle sticks are insulators because they are made of wood, which is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. This means they do not readily transfer heat or electricity.
Oh, dude, let me tell you, those Popsicle sticks are like tiny little warriors against water. They're made of wood, right? And wood and water don't really get along. So technically speaking, those sticks aren't waterproof at all. They'll soak up water faster than you can say "brain freeze."
Yes, popsicle sticks can float in water because they are less dense than water. The air trapped in the pores of the wood makes them buoyant.
The water softens the wood giving it greater flexibility?
Yes, popsicle sticks are good insulators because they are made from wood which is a poor conductor of heat. This means that they do not transfer heat easily, making them good for use in situations where you want to prevent heat transfer.
A bullock cart model can be made using waste items such as popsicle sticks. Wood glue is best to use when gluing wood pieces together.
