Some birds use feathers as insulators!

What is an Insulator?

An insulator stops heat and power.

Where Do We Use Insulators?

We use them in walls and wires.

More About insulator

Insulators have been used for a long time. People found out they could keep heat in. They help us stay warm in cold times. They also help keep us cool in hot times.

We see insulators in our homes. They are in walls, roofs, and wires. They help save energy and money. This makes life better for us.

In the future, we will find new insulators. They might help us save even more energy. This is good for our planet!
