How Glass is Made!

Today we are going to explore how glass is made. As a review please watch the following video about how glass is made. Pay close attention to the ingredients of glass making and the process of glass making.




Also to further explore how glass is blown (like how they do it at Blenko) play the following virtual "Hot Spot" game.

Pay attention to the temperatures needed during the process!
I want you to write down some of the names of the tools used in the glass making process as they will be crucial for upcoming assignments.
