a. Which color wires correspond to power, ground and signal?

Brown = Ground, Red = Power, Orange = Signal.

a. Which Arduino pin should the signal line of the servo be attached to?

Pin 9.

b. What aspects of the Servo code control angle or speed?

Inside the loop(), the two for() loops control the angle, going from 0 to 180 degrees, and from 180 to 0 degrees, and they control the speed by setting a delay of 15 ms with the line of code 'delay(15);' between each movement.

Include a photo/movie of your raw circuit in action.

a. Make a video of your proto puppet.

For this and the next question I directly plugged the device to the computer because there were not enough batteries, but the system will also work with a battery.

a. Make a video of your final design.

My final design consists of a day progress tracker. It is designed to be placed near a window. It uses a photocell to track the light progress during the day. When you wake up, the puppet's arms will be down indicating it is the start of the day. The arms will slowly go up as the light diminishes when you get to the late afternoon and evening part of the day. At night, when there is no light, the puppet's arms will be up, simulating a muscle stretch and a yawn and indicating it is time to get a good night's sleep. It is a twist on a light detecting system that could be used as a toy for children. For the video, I chose to use a lamp as a light and simulate darkness by covering the photocell up because recording a full 24-hour period with the device near the window would have been too long to post on Github.
