May 31/June 1: Submit Report on first battery
June 4-8 Prepare 2nd battery, Test, Report
June 11-12 Prepare and Test 3rd Battery, Final Submission due No Later than June 18/19.
May 21-25: Discuss with your partner(s) how you will design your mud battery. By the end of the week, you will submit Requirements of TASK #1: TWO, neat, labelled sketches of the mud battery you have decided to create along with one page report discussing important features. Also previous research (minimum 3 designs with links, image, paragraph for each).
