Enigma Box

There are many things I discovered in my observations about the enigma box.First over the first 250 milliliters the water did not drip a drop.Then from that to 400 milliliters the box dripped slightly.After that to about 450 millliliters it started to pour slightly from there on it poured out heavly.
There are many skills that a scientist uses on a daily bases. First and probably the most important
skill is observation. This is very important because it enables you to use sences to create a
hypothesis. Another skill is prediction and classification are skills they use after you observe and make your hypothesis. Inference is a skill scientists use to complete the process. The last skill is making models which infers all of the other skills
I think the inside of the enigma box looks like a water slide. I think it twists and turns forcing the water to build in the valves until it can't take to the top anymore.When it gets to the top I think it simply falls out the tube. I also think that the reason it comes out so thourgholy is it only goes up half way. That is how the enigma box is built.
In the end the enigma box is not what i expected it was simpily a figure that when it reached the top the water rushed out. I felt I was pretty close though cause it did flow out. That is my enigma box summary sorry it was late.

Your idea of what is inside the Enigma Box is cool. A water slide was pretty close except for it was simpler than that. I said that there was a spiral of tubing instead of a water slide, but the concept is the same. Spirals or twists and turns, its the same idea. Great job, I love your ideas.

I saw many similarities and differences in our Enigma Box paragraphs. Some similarities were that we both thought that there was some sort of series of tubes. We thought that when the water was poured into the box, some sort of pressure pushed it through the bottom.

Some differences were, that Cody thought it was something like a roller coaster and I thought that it was like a puzzle. However we were both wrong so it doesn't matter.You had some Grammmar issues here and there but overall it was interesting to read.
