Does any one know a recipe for glass making?
I have a new teacher who wants to do it and it is not something we have done before.
Needs to be safe for year 10.
Thanks,
Helen

Wouldn't glass making require extreme temperatures and/or pressure? I wouldn't think it appropriate for a school prac.

ETA: I found this link http://www.crystalartusa.com/simpleless ... aking.aspx for simple sodium borate glass.
