Once again, I only just realized that we had a physics journal due over this long, three day weekend. Luckily, I didn't realize this at 11:30 pm like I usually do, and I had some time to look through all of my pictures. I don't know where my camera charger went, so I couldn't take any new physics pictures, shucks. However, I noticed a baking/birthday theme in my pictures and decided to go with it! I looked at our online textbook, and found that heat is thermal energy transferred between objects because of a difference in their temperatures. Energy flows from the object with the higher temperature (the hot oven coils) to an object with a lower temperature (the dough for cookies, cakes, or cupcake mixtures). This heat (measured in joules by physicists) causes the dough to rise, and we get the yummy treats you see up there! I think most of them were yummy, I'm not sure about Julia's cake with the real flowers, toothpicks, foil, and what looks like toothpaste on it, though. But it's the thought that counts (thanks Julia!).
