Don't forget to log every day with specific details about what you planned or accomplished.  

Goal:  To understand how an everyday item works by taking it apart and analyzing the parts and their interworkings.  

Artifacts:   A Google Slide with photographs from the deconstruction or drawing(s) that document the parts of the device.   The drawings should be carefully drawn and the Google Slide should be visually pleasing.
