If you are talking about a magnifying glass, the convex glass bends and concentrates the light waves and heat energy associated with those waves. Where the energy is concentrated becomes very hot. Flat or concave glass does not affect the waves.

If you are talking about the inside of the car getting hot, that is because the light energy can pass through the glass and get absorbed by the material in the car, the darker the material, the more energy is absorbed. The energy absorbed from the light is them converted onto radiant heat which cannot pass through the glass and becomes trapped which allows the heat to build.

Will a glass bowl crack if you freeze water in it?

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.

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.
