DESCRIPTION
For this project, we worked in teams of four. Each of us brought in a different object to take apart and analyze, and as a group decided on one to focus on and study. My group decided to focus our report on a solar panel powered flower decoration. We took apart the object and researched online while using prior knowledge to see how it functions and how the pieces interact. We separated each team member's roles and created due dates for each portion of the project using a Gantt Chart. We also created a technical report and slideshow for our presentation to the class.

REFLECTION
Throughout this project, our group was able to meet deadlines, like finish the Gantt Chart and Technical Report on time. We also did not have conflict within the group, and we all were able to openly express our ideas. We successfully divided tasks between initially, but as time went on we became less focused. For example, we had broken up each element of the analysis evenly, but did not all work on our presentation slideshow. We also had trouble with the presentation, although we had initially allotted time for practicing, we had decided that this time would be better spent on our technical report.
