-Physics is the study of how things interact with each other in the real world.  I can observe almost all of the things we studied just by taking a walk outside.  I can see how cars accelerate and how light refracts.  I can see how projectiles fall and how toy rockets fly.  I can see how when an object sits on a table, the table is actually pushing up on the object. 
-I did not think that this class was particularly challenging but that was nice because it is summer time after all.  I thought a lot of the concepts we covered in class were interesting but it would be nice to go more in depth when we learn about them. 
-I learned all sorts of things about how stuff interact in the natural world.  Like I said earlier, I see things differently now, for example my laptop on my desk.  I now understand how different forces are acting upon it from different directions. 
-I thought that we did some interesting labs and demos.
-I think that we could go more in depth on some of the concepts.
-This class was enjoyable over all.  I liked it and I learned a bunch of new things. 

This is a picture I took of my reflection in a mirror.  Today, I learned something really cool about full-length mirrors.  I thought at first that in order to see my whole reflection in the mirror, the mirror needed to be as tall as me.  However,  I now realize that the mirror only has to be half of my height.  As long as the mirror is positioned at the height of my eyes, I will be able to look up and see my face and look down and see my feet.  This is because the normal for the angle of incidence required to look at my feet is only at my waist.  The bottom half of the mirror would only show the floor.

Today's class seemed incredibly long.  However, there were some fascinating examples of the lesson.  Personally, I thought the most interesting part of today was the way colors work and how mixing them gives different colors.  The reason a shirt is blue for example, is because the shirt absorbs all other colors except for blue which it reflects.  In this picture, there are three separate shadows behind Mr. Blake.  Each of these shadows has its own color.  At first I didn't understand why there were three different shadows.  Now though, I realize that because there are three sources of light hitting Mr. Blake, the angle at which each light is hitting Mr. Blake causes a shadow for each source to appear.  I also thought it was fascinating how by using the color wheel, it is possible to tell what color each shadow is going to be.  

In class today we talked about light.  I learned that in order to see something, light must bounce off the object and hit your eye.  So if something is hidden behind something else, the reason you cannot see it is because the other object blocks the light from hitting your eye.  Objects that block light are called opaque.  Normally, you cannot see the beam of a laser like the one in the picture above.  However, If one shoots it through water or through a cloud of dust, the beam becomes visible.  The reason for this is because the particles reflect light back into your eye allowing you to see the beam.
