Description
This is an elementary/middle school reading passage and comprehension assessment on the history of glass. Glassmaking began thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia when people accidentally created glass while working with fire and sand. In the 19th century, modern techniques allowed for mass production. Today, glass is everywhere - from windows and bottles to screens - thanks to many centuries of innovation.
