To stop ice from melting you are going to have to stop heat getting to it so you need to wrap it in a good insulator. Wrapping the ice in bubble wrap or putting it in a box made from polystyrene foam would work well, the thicker the insulator the better! A waterproof insulator is good because water is quite a good conductor of heat, if you say wrapped it in straw then the water released from the first bit of ice would soak into the straw and make it a less good insulator allowing more ice to melt. You could get around this by putting the ice in a plastic bag and wrapping the bag in an insulator that wasn't waterproof. For any container the more ice you have in it at the start the longer some will last. Ice can be kept in a high quality vacuum flask for quite a long time but if you are looking to make it yourself then it would be far from simple.

How can I make a simple calorimeter?

To make a simple calorimeter, you will need a container to hold water, a thermometer to measure temperature changes, and a heat source to generate heat. Place the container with water on the heat source and measure the initial temperature. Apply heat to the water and record the temperature change. By measuring the amount of heat applied and the temperature change, you can calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
