Using sugar and corn syrup, you can also simulate the art of glass blowing in class. Of course, this post is for teachers that may have the opportunity to have a higher heat capacity in their classrooms to melt the sugar. Be mindful of the dangers of heat with students. Or you could possibly do it as a demonstration if you cannot get a field trip to an actual glass blowing facility.
This video shows the process and then below are links to a site that shows you the recipe to use as well as links to other pages that show how to pull and shape the sugar glass and one on how to blow it.
If you do this and it works, please let me know! I'm dying to try it myself!!
