not sure
Sawdust and cloth are non-metals and thus insulators of heat. They slow down the melting process of the blocks of ice so it gets to where its supposed to be without becoming a messy puddle of water.
Yes, there is no chemical changes to the wood.
the sawdust acts as insulation isolating the ice from warm air
A wood pellet stove is simply a wood stove. However it's specialized to burn wood pellets which are made from compressed sawdust and are more convenient than firewood.
Yes. A solid can change shape. The process is called melting. Each solid has a melting point. Ice has a melting point of 0 degrees Celcius. You should learn this when you are in Grade 6 or 7. But let me tell you 1 thing, some solids like wood do not melt, wood burns when the temperature is too hot. The only type of solids that can melt are the type of solids that have the properties of changing into a liquid. You can search up videos in Youtube for more information about solids. You can type in "Ice melting", that would be a simple thing to start with.add. And solids may have their shape altered by applying an external force. That is how a metal can is formed, or a railway iron, or a copper wire, or a metal spoon. Other solids such as wood and plastic may be similarly deformed.
Sawdust
The powder from wood that has been sawn is called sawdust. It is a byproduct of cutting and shaping wood using saws and is commonly used in various applications such as woodworking, gardening, and animal bedding. Sawdust can also be a potential fire hazard if not properly managed.

The flash point of sawdust can vary depending on factors such as moisture content, size of particles, and type of wood. Generally, sawdust has a flash point around 300-400°F (150-200°C), making it highly flammable and a fire hazard if not properly stored or handled.
wood
To make wood filler from sawdust, mix the sawdust with wood glue or a similar adhesive until it forms a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the wood surface and let it dry before sanding it smooth.
Carpenter ants dig through wood leaving a sawdust residue. Wood bees or carpenter bees also leave a sawdust residue as they dig into wood to make a nest. Termites actually eat the wood so they would not leave a sawdust residue
To make wood putty from sawdust, mix the sawdust with wood glue until a thick paste forms. Adjust the consistency by adding more sawdust or glue as needed. Apply the putty to fill in gaps or cracks in wood surfaces, then sand it smooth once dry.
Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.
No, the molecules of a tree and sawdust are not the same. Sawdust is made up of smaller wood particles broken down from the original tree, so the molecules in sawdust are a combination of wood molecules and air.
To make stainable wood filler using sawdust, mix sawdust with wood glue until it forms a thick paste. Apply the mixture to the wood surface, let it dry, then sand it smooth before staining.
