Enigma Box

Today Mrs. Casey showed us an Enigma box. The Enigma box is made form a milk carton, but I'm not sure what's inside of it yet. when she made the box, she used five skills that a great scientist would use. These five skills are observation, inferring, classifying, predicting, and making a model. She used observation by using a previous model and analyzing what was in the model. Then she predicted what will happen to the water when she pours it in the box. After that, she classified it by keeping notes, staying on the right path, and just knowing what to do. Finally, she made a model of an Enigma box, out of a milk carton.

The observation I took on the Enigma box, was that first Mrs. Casey put 100-ml to the box. Then I saw a that little drips of water came out, but not a hole lot. After that she added an other 100-ml so it came to a total of 200-ml, and nothing happened. Then she kept on doing the same procedure by 100-ml every time, and it came a total of 470-ml of water in the box. finally all that came out.

What I think is in the Enigma box is some kind of valve. Of coarse that valve can only hold up a certain amount of water. So every time she added a 100-ml, it kept on adding weight to it. Then because the gravity pulled the water down, the valve finally opened because 470-ml was to much weight.

In conclusion, Mrs. Casey finally showed us what really was in the box. The Enigma Box actually had a tube inside. The tube was shaped like a loop. The water will only come out of it when the water is passed the top. When its passes the loop all of the water will come out.
