Week 14: Glass Cullet Inquiry

This video was filmed in Milton, WV at Blenko Glass. Upon entering the plank-way to visit the observation booth there was a mound of colorful glass. This glass is known as cullet, which you will use the video and web resources to research.

Using the information provided in the video and this blog post you will need to answer the questions at the end of the movie. Also use any web resources to aid in answering the questions about cullet, but be sure to write down your sources.

    This is a good way to create a blog post different from others. Most posts centered on the glass blowing experience while this one looked at raw materials. Great idea.

    This is great way to introduce the students to the glass recycling importance! Really cool approach to the inquiry video as well!
