Glass and Ceramic

Open your eyes big. Look around things around you. Can we name some examples of glass and ceramic around us?

What are their uses? Do they have similar properties? What are their differences?

In fact, they are many types of glasses, namely:
  1. fused glass
  2. soda glass
  3. borosilicate glass
  4. lead glass
  5. etc...

Try to list down their composition, properties and uses.
