In our science class we are seeing what would make the best insulation for a baby bottleWe pour hot water into a baby bottle and then put stuff around it to try and keep all the heat in.any ideas for what to use?? It can be anything???
depends what you use the bike for, if you do cross country on it it may bend or break

Insulating materials Most insulation is used to prevent the conduction of heatIn some cases radiation is a factorA good insulator is obviously a poor conductorLess dense materials are better insulatorsThe denser the material, the closer its atoms are togetherThat means the transfer of energy of one atom to the next is more effectiveThus, gases insulate better than liquids, which in turn insulate better than solidsAn interesting fact is that poor conductors of electricity are also poor heat conductorsWood is a much better insulator than copperThe reason is that metals that conduct electricity allow free electrons to roam through the materialThis enhances the transfer of energy from one area to another in the metalWithout this ability, the material-like wood-does not conduct heat wellSo, there is the answerIf you are looking for anything solid as an insulator then something that is less dense and with minimal electric condictivity should do.
