your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.

What will make an ice cube melt slower aluminum foil or cotton?

Aluminum foil will make an ice cube melt slower than cotton. This is because aluminum foil is a better insulator and will help trap cold air around the ice cube, slowing down the melting process. Cotton, on the other hand, is a poor insulator and will not provide as much protection from the surrounding temperature.
