Bending Glass

I bent and twisted the glass today.

Tips:

• Don't bent the glass back and forth. It will make glass break.
• place the glass closely on the burner. It might take time if you place it too high.
• wear goggles and gloves for your safety
• Use two holders when ypu bend the glass

Science:

Glass is a visco-elastic material whose mechanical properties change very rapidly over a small temperature. so even though there isn't very high temperature. glass easily bends.
