Glass is formed by heating sand to its melting point. Objects are then either cast or blown to their desired shape and allowed to cool slowly. Glass is made from a mixture of sand and other materials. Just regular sand can be made into glass, but it must be heated to about 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Silicon dioxide is the main ingredient of glass. Glass is made by melting silicon sand (also called quartz sand) with carbon at a high temperature (up to 4000 degrees Fahrenheit). When the glass forms, the mixture releases the carbon and oxygen as a gas (carbon monoxide).lass is made by melting silicon sand (also called quartz sand) with carbon at a high temperature (up to 4000 degrees Fahrenheit).
