How is GLASS made? | Maddie Moate
I visited Pilkington glass factory in St Helen's to learn how float glass is made out of sand! Pilkington has been making glass since 1826, and their HUGE factory in the north of England is one of several making GLASS 24/7.

Teaching Resources for UK and US Curriculum
National Curriculum in England: Science Programmes of Study
- Material Properties and Purposes (Key Stage 1 - Year 1) 3.1 Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made
- Material Properties and Purposes (Key Stage 1 - Year 1) 3.3 Describe the simple physical properties of a variety of everyday materials.
- Material Properties and Purposes; Natural Resources (Key Stage 1 - Year 1) 3.2 Identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock.
- What Is Science? (3-5 Version) (Aims Key Stages 1-4) 2 Develop an understanding of the nature, processes and methods of science through different types of science enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them.
- What Is Science? (3-5 Version) (Aims Key Stages 1-4) 3 Are equipped with the scientific knowledge required to understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future.
- Material Properties and Purposes (Key Stage 1 - Year 2) 4.1 Identify and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for particular uses.
- Particle Nature of Matter (Key Stage 2 - Year 4) 3.2 Observe that some materials change state when they are heated or cooled, and measure or research the temperature at which this happens in degrees celsius (?c).
- Particle Nature of Matter (Key Stage 2 - Year 5) 3.5 Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes.
- Properties of Matter (Key Stage 2 - Year 5) 3.4 Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic.
- Simple Machines (Key Stage 2 - Year 5) 5.3 Recognise that some mechanisms, including levers, pulleys and gears, allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
US Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Structure and Properties of Matter
- 2-PS1-2. Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose
- 2-PS1-4. Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.
Engineering Design
- K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool.
Structure and Properties of Matter
- 5-PS1-2. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
- 5-PS1-4. Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
Engineering Design
- 3-5-ETS1-3. Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
Literacy
- W.4.7 Conduct short research projects that build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic
- RI.4.3 Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text
- RI.3.3 Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
- W.1.7 Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of “how-to” books on a given topic and use them to write a sequence of instructions)
