Summarize sheets:   for each, you must include a sketch, a one-two sentence summary, and an analogy.  

For example, if something that was circling my house,
I might draw a five-sided figure for my house, a bee for the something, and an arrow.   This is a picture. 
I might explain that the house did not move but the bee did.   This is a sentence of explanation.
I might say a permanent marker spot on a spinning cd worked the same way.  This is an analogy.
