Enigma Box

     Mrs. Casey poured the water into the enigma box first.  450 milliliters were poured in when finally the water started to drizzle out.  It came out slowly and filled the container at the bottom.  There were two holes on top, but one on the bottom.  When the water came out, it was a steady stream.  All the water that was poured in eventually poured out.

     I think that inside the enigma box is a maze of tubes.  It sounds far-fetched, but it would explain why the water came out in a stream.  It would also explain why it took so long for the water to pour out of the bottom.  Yeah, it's definitely a maze.

     Scientists usually use five important skills.  The first is observing, which is using one or more of your senses to gather information.  The second is inferring, which deals with explaining or interpreting things you observe.  Predicting is third and that is making a forecast of what will happen in the future based on past experience or evidence.  Classifying is fourth and it's the process of grouping together items that are alike in some way.  The last is making models, which involves creating representations of complex objects or processes.

     I guessed that there was a maze of tubes in the enigma box.  I'd like to say I was close because there was only one tube.  It kind of looped through the box.  The way it worked was that when the water got to the top of the loop, it overflowed into the other side and poured out gradually.  That is how the inside of the enigma box actually worked.
