There are six important skills that scientists use. One of them is observing. They observe with their senses. When I was watching the Enigma Box activity I was using my senses by watching when the water came out of the tube and into the container. I could here the water getting higher. Also I predict things. I predicted that once the water was getting poured into the box that it would come out right away...but my prediction was wrong. It came out after there were 300 mLs in the box.
In the class demonstration I observed a few things. First is that the box could hold 300 mLs and then the water started to come out of the tube. it let out the water slowy at first and then faster at the end Also it sounded like a cup getting fuller when it gets filled up. it let the water out slowly at first and then faster at the end.
When i think of what the inside of the box looks like I think of something that everyone sees. The inside kinda reminds me of a toilet and once the box gets to a certain point it lets the water go. Just like when the water fills up in a toilet bowl,once it gets to a certain point it stop filling up with water.
In the Enigma Box activity there were many science skills that i have used. Inside the Enigma Box an interesting way of making the water come out. One end of the tubing is sticking out of the box and then inside of the box is a loop of tubing, the other end of tubing is placed at the very bottom of the box. When you fill up the box to a certain point it starts to go up the tube and then back down and then ut the other end. When the water level starts to go down the air pressure keeps pushing it down until the box and tubing is empty.
