Make Edible Glass Hearts!

Glass is really cool, but where does it come from? Jessi and Squeaks have a pretty sweet activity to show you how glass is made SOURCES: Disciplinary Core Ideas: PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter - Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature (2-PS1-1). A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces (2-PS1-3). PS1.B: Chemical Reactions - Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not (2-PS1-4). Performance Expectations: 2-PS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. 2-PS1-3. Make observations to construct an evidence-based account of how an object made of a small set of pieces can be disassembled and made into a new object. 2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.
