The Enigma Box

Today in class we did an experiment called the Enigma Box. Enigma means "puzzle." During the experiment we were asked to make some observations. Some of my observations were that when Ms. Casey poured the water in the box, it didn't go right through the box. It took about a minute to get through the box and into the cup.I think that there is a series of tubes inside the Enigma Box.

This reminds me of my body. When you eat something it goes down your esophagus, into your stomach, through your small intestines through your large intestines, and out your rectum.(anus)

Scientists use many skills to make observations and these skills are observing, inferring, predicting, classifying, and making models. To be a successful scientists you have to be able to use these five skills. We as a class and individual had to use these skills. We had to observe how the water entered the box and how it left the box. We had to make an inference on what would happen when the water was poured into the box also.

Inside the Enigma Box wasn't really a series of tubes, but it was a tube bent into a loop.
In conclusion, the Enigma Box may seem complicated but if you use the scientific skills you can figure it out.

I found many similarities between yours and my enigma box paragraph although they are different. First I like how you how you showed the difference between the amount of water put in. This is simalar to mine because i did the same thing. I also thought that is was somewhat like the human body but not entirly. However a difference is the posts are that I said it was more like a roller coaster.
The things you did right are very evident in your paragraph such as. First you had all four paragraphs which is key in a four paragraph essay.Next you used a lot of good word choice which makes it intreging to read.Last It was fluent and you used some key points.Good job all around bye.
