A Piece of Glass
A piece of glass may seem like a simple and unremarkable object, but it is actually a fascinating material with a rich history and a wide range of uses. Glass is a type of solid material that is transparent, or translucent, and brittle, meaning it can break easily. It is made by heating a mixture of silica (or sand), soda, and lime to a high temperature until it melts and then cooling it rapidly to create a solid material.
