Insulation is when you try to maintain something tempature. There are many things that are good insulators. “Some common insulators are glass, plastic, rubber, air, and wood” (Conductors and Insulators 2016). Insulation isn’t only for keeping things hot, it also keeps things cold and keep them fresh and from getting spoiled. For instance your refrigerator is one HUGE insulator it keeps your food fresh and frozen. But there is one much smaller version of this. An ice pack, ice packs keep school lunches cold all day. I’m not necessarily focussing on what’s in the ice pack but more of what’s around it. Believe it or not the plastic bags around homemade ice packs help the ice maintain it’s temperature. It does a pretty good job of keeping the ice cold. But things that are denser will most likely maintain coldness such as styrofoam or
