Mini Proj #2 :Bending glass.

We have been bending glass in chemistry lately, it's so fun :D


SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• no loose clothing
• do not reach across the bunsen burner while the flame is on
  
• make sure an object is cooled before touching it
• always have your goggles on

PROCEDURE

1. Light the Bunsen Burner
2. Move glass around in the flame
   
3. When glass softens, bend glass to create bent glass!
   

SCIENCE
Solids (the glass tube) melt at high temperatures. Liquid glass is flexible and malleable while on the other hand, solid glass is brittle.
