In order to give you the practice in technical writing, your must choose a technical or scientific topic.

Keep in mind the differences among instructions, process descriptions, and procedures:
Instructions inform readers how to assemble, make, create something or perform
a specific task.
Process descriptions tell how something works (for example, how a drug works
to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies). While instructions are about how to
use something, descriptions are about how that thing works (e.g., how to take a
prescription drug vs. how that drug works in the human body).
Procedures are standardized ways of doing things in organizations.
For this assignment, you should focus on creating clearly written, well designed, and
effectively illustrated instructions.
