A metal cup will generally keep hot water hotter for longer compared to a paper cup. Metal is a better insulator than paper, so it helps to retain heat more effectively.
No, paper will not keep water cold for the longest time. A metal cup will keep water the same temperature for the longest time. I know this because I did a science experiment about this but instead of cold water I used hot, which won't really make a difference. The next would be glass then paper.
A plastic cup may help insulate cold water for a short period of time, but it is not as effective as an insulated container. The thickness of the plastic and the ambient temperature will also affect how long the water stays cold.
One way to keep paper dry underwater is to use a waterproof container or bag to store the paper in before submerging it. Another option is to laminate the paper before putting it in the water to create a waterproof barrier. Lastly, you could use a water-resistant coating spray to protect the paper from getting wet.
Most plastic rulers will float on water because their density is lower than that of water. This is because plastic is less dense than water, so it displaces enough water to keep it afloat.
Igloo-type cooler.
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
PLASTIC!
No, at a certain temperature the water evaporates and turns into gas.
Plastic generally does not keep liquid hotter than a foam container or glass container. Foam containers have better insulating properties, making them more effective at retaining heat. Glass containers also have higher thermal conductivity, which can help keep liquids hotter for longer periods compared to plastic.
A metal cup will generally keep hot water hotter for longer compared to a paper cup. Metal is a better insulator than paper, so it helps to retain heat more effectively.
Plastic is an insulator. but most of the paper is not insulated, because the paper in general contains water, although the content is very low, but enough to pass current, but there also is a special insulation paper, that is on the special purpose. so in dry conditions, and the cup has no water, a plastic cup is a better insulator than a paper cup.
Glass definitley does. if you are raising a catipillar or a worm, put in in a BIG Plastic container. It will live much longer. I am a 5th grade science teacher Glass. Put lots of grass cap of water, and make sure it has a BIG BIG BIG plastice container. -Susan DO NOT PUT A CATIPILLAR IN GLASS. It could die quikly from the heat.
Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.

thermos cup
In general, foam is a better insulator than metal, and so foam would be expected to keep water hotter longer under most normal circumstances.
