Change a flat surface to a curved surface?

I am very new to grasshopper and I am trying to curve a surface by adjusting either one or both of the edges. So the surface will start out flat and then one of the edges (or both) can be adjusted using the slider tool to make it curve upwards or downwards.

Thanks for any help!

How complex dou you want then curvature to be? there are several ways to create surfaces.. just like in Rhino you can use a Loft, a Sweep or a surface form 3 or 4 Curves.

I guess I just want the surface to move from a plane to an arc

This is close. I am trying to replicate thermal bi metal. So I want the plane to replicate what happens in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIyVZf3qZU at min 3:22.
