Definitely! it will, and most times the glass bowl even breaks. This happens because water increases in volume as it changes from liquid to solid (ice) and since the material used in holding the water during the freezing or solidification process is glass, like we all know, glass is an inelastic material, so there is no even expansion between the water and glass to accomodate the ice formation, therefore the glass bowl sides are set under pressure from the internal force exerted by the ice on its wall. When the pressure from the ice exceeds the hold of the glass bowl, it finally cracks or breaks aparts.

When I have a cold, I mix the cold medicine with hot water in a glass, and only once in my life has the glass ever smashed in those circumstances... I rarely put hot water into glasses otherwise...


How do you make a model on why the oceans blue?

First get a glass bowl filled with water and blue paper. Place the blue paper above the water. If you need to, tape the blue paper to the bottom of a table. Place the glass bowl of water under the table or beneath blue paper. This is all you need to do. EXPLANATION The blue paper is the sky. The bowl of water is the ocean. The sky is blue. The ocean acts like mirror. It reflects things. That is why you see your reflection in a pool of water. The bowl has to be glass be cause if the bowl is colored, the water will reflect the color.
