Does glass expand or contract when heated?
Glass definitely contracts when cooled. If you take a hot glass bottle, perhaps one that has been sitting by a campfire, and toss it into cold water, perhaps a nearby river, you will almost certainly find that the glass fractures as the surface in contact with the cold water tries to contract while the inner glass that is still hot does not.
