Google doc about baking

Google docs are a great way to give you information without using hard copy paper.  Since classrooms are quickly becoming technology focused, I will begin using google docs as a tool to provide you virtual handouts. Hard copy handouts will still be avalable but if you lose it or are not in class this is where assignement links will be posted like the one below:

Using the google doc link open the link and read the definations and quesitons listed and define the remaining terms.
