Glass is the perfect material for science containers.  It is clear, so scientists
              can see what is inside.  Most glass melts at high temperatures.  But some
              glass is heat resistant.  That means applying heat will not break it or change
              its shape.  Glass will also not react with or affect most chemicals used in
              experiments.

                 The next time you grab a glass of water, take a second to observe the
              amazing material in your hand.  Thanks to glass, scientists can do research
              that makes the world a better place!
