At hula tonight, we made ti leaf lei! This is an example of one, although this one above is a little bare. Anyway, we put some of our leaves in the microwave to soften them. This reminded me of physics because we read about the electromagnetic spectrum last week! In addition to softening the leaves, the microwaves also heated them up a bit. As the waves hit the leaves, their energy excited the ti leaf particles which caused the change in temperature. Also, because the ti leaf particles were excited, the leaves became more pliable. We were then able to twist them to create our lei :)
