If it's heated hot enough, it makes glass. Other than that, it just gets hot.
Basically, the sand gets so hot that it melts (in a sense) together and then, when cooled rapidly, it doesn't have time to form a crystal lattice (grains of sand), so it stays melted together.

That would depend, one how you apply heat to it. if it's heated past its melting point it will (obviously) melt and fuse with other sand particles.
With enough heat and a few more chemicals, you might isolate Silicon

If heated to a high enough temperature, it melts and becomes quartz or glass etc.

What do you advise "after it cooled"? How do you be attentive to it cooled? i'm guessing that it hasn't cooled thoroughly. once you place the water in it, the warmth left interior the sand heats up the water.

when heated past a certain point it will melt like any other solid.

It melts.. and is in most case's made into glass.
