Do glass shrink when heated?
No, glass does not shrink when heated. In fact, glass expands when heated due to increased molecular movement. If glass is subsequently cooled down rapidly, it can crack or shatter due to thermal stress.
What happens to how glass flows as it is heated?
As glass is heated, its viscosity decreases, allowing it to flow more easily and change shape. This process is known as glass transition or softening, and it occurs at a specific temperature range unique to each type of glass. The softened glass can be molded or shaped into different forms before cooling and solidifying again.
Is dirt in the making of glass?

What is used to make glass?
sand is grinded and then heated and left to moult into glass
How is glass processed?
Glass is made by sand that is heated at extereme hot tempetures
What will happen if a glass ball is heated?
it will shatter
In what ways can the properties of glass be changed?
The properties of glass can be changed by altering its composition (adding different materials), changing the cooling rate during production, or subjecting it to heat treatments such as tempering or annealing. These methods can affect properties like strength, transparency, and thermal resistance.
What material is a drinking glass made from?
A drinking glass is typically made from glass, which is a transparent material derived from silica sand, soda ash, and limestone. Glass is heated to high temperatures until it becomes molten and can be molded into various shapes for different types of glassware.
What is glass manipulation?
Glass manipulation is when you heat up the glass. Once the glass is heated up it then can be manipulated using certain tools.
Why can a glassblower bend and shape a piece of glass that has been heated?
When glass is heated to a certain point it becomes easy to shape. It can be bent and shaped into many ways.
