I think that paper towels are good insulators because if you put a few layers in a cup, they will absorb the water from the ice in the cup, which will keep the temperature in the cup cold enough to keep the ice from melting. Put a wash cloth under the layers of paper towels, the ice will be even better off. Put a plastic wrap over the top of the cup, I am pretty sure that the ice will NOT melt for a few hours! But if this experiment doesn't work, and you have a better answer, then go ahead and change this. Bye!
