1. What is the purpose or primary function of the object? To hold lead for mechanical pencils so they don't have to buy new pencils.

3. Identify the system inputs, intended product function, and outputs. Use power point to create a "black box" graphic like the toothbrush example discussed in class. Save the slide as a .jpg image and post it to answer this question.

5. What is it about this device’s function that you cannot identify, because the mechanical components are hidden from plain view? There really isn't anything that is hidden.
