The Enigma Box!

The Enigma Box is a box that you fill with water, but there is a way that it comes out that is untold. First, the Enigma box consists of water pressure and air. Have you ever put your finger over the top of a straw and bring it out to drink? Have you noticed that the air isn't getting into the straw so the drink doesn't come out? Well, when you let go it flows out very quickly. That is exactly how the Enigma Box works.
The Enigma Box is rectangular shaped with 2 holes with that are different sizes and it holds the water. As the Enigma box receives more water it begins to leak. So the more water that is put into the Enigma box, the faster the water flows.
Also, the Enigma Box is a box that holds a liquid and you fill it up with the liquid and you start off with a small amount, then you fill with a larger amount and at about 450ml. is when it starts flowing really fast. All the water filling the Enigma Box finally reaches a point then it flows out.
To end with, the Enigma Box is a box that you use all 5 senses, and the 5 skills to observe. Inferring, Predicting, Classifying, Observing, and Making Models are the 5 skills that scientists and normal people use everyday to observe or examine something. The Enigma Box has a tube that loops around inside and when the water fills to a certain level then the water flows over the loop and out of the box.

Jenna there are a lot of similarities between are Enigma Box. We both describe what it looks like. Also we both say the 5 skills that scientist and everyday people use. Another thing is that we said what you thought what happened inside. After we described what really happened inside.

Though also we have some differrences. For yours you didn't have the definition on the five senses. Also you just said that at something milli. it pured out. On mine i went from the begging of when the water was poured in. Well Jenna i would have to say reading yours was a great four paragrahs.
