Enigma Box

Scientists use many skills to learn about something in the natural world. One skill they use is observing by using one or more of their scenes to gather information. They also use classifying by putting stuff in groups that have similar features. By guessing what is going to happen in the future by knowledge is predicting. Also by making a interpretation with observations they also make inferences. I used all of those great features to figure out what was going on in the enigma box.
The enigma box is a mystery but i observed it closely. We kept putting more water in and nothing happened. Until we put in 470 ml then boom. Water came out the yube on the bottom. How come the water came out all the sudden?
Well i beleive i can answer that question. I think that there is a slanted wall inside and once you get enough water it spills over. When it spills over it gos out tube in the bottom. Thats how i think it works. But is that really how it works?
No that is not how the enigma box works, there were many guesses on how it works. But all of them were wrong and now im going to really tell u how it works. There is a twisted tube in the box. When you pour water in the box the tube fills up to where the water level is. Once the water gets to the highest point of the tube the water comes out the other end of the tube. That is how the enigma box works.

Chad you and i had both really simuler but really different enigma paragraphs.First of all we both talked about what scientists use to discover unknown things.But one thing that you did that i should of done was tell what ones of those skills i used in my paragraph, good job!You also had more catchy phrases in yours than i did in mine which i thought was great.Yours though had more mistakes than mine but thats ok.We also had the same idea of what was in the box thats weird because you sit right next to me haha just kidding.
I really liked your special sets of words they really brought me into the writing i thought that was great.I also liked how you said all the requirements.Chad i thought you did great on this a and i think you should get a good grade on this good job. And by the way you played great to day.
