    This document provides a worksheet for students to dissect a product in teams of two. The worksheet guides students to first explore the product by turning it on and off if possible, and answering questions about what it does and how many parts and engineers were likely involved in its creation. It then instructs students to carefully take the product apart and note its components, materials, and scientific principles used so they can reassemble it. Finally, students are prompted to consider questions about the product's function, assembly process, and manufacturing costs.

    possible. During this time, answer these questions.

    What does it do?

    How many parts do you think it has? ______________

    What science/scientific principles were used in the product?

    How many engineers were involved making the product?

    ________________________________

    What type(s) of engineers do you think were needed to manufacture it?


    Engineering Your Future Name__________________

    Now begin taking it apart. If possible you will need to put it back together also so
    be careful how you take it apart. You may need to draw pictures or take notes as
    to what goes where so you can put it back together. (20-25 minutes)

    Now answer these questions.

    What does the device do and how do you think it does it? (Use sketches to help
    you answer these questions. You may need another sheet(s) to do this)

    How many parts are inside? __________________

    How many different materials can you find? ______________

    What science/scientific principles were used in the product? (eg: chemistry in


    batteries, physics in electromagnetism, biology in human factors)

    How many engineers were involved making the product?

    ______________________________

    What type(s) of engineers do you think were needed to manufacture it?

    What other machines would you expect to find similar components?

    How do you think it was assembled?
