All in all the seasons change four times a year. The seasons change by the earth being tilted and rotating around the sun. In one year the earth rotates around the sun once so the seasons change four times. The seasons change on the equinox and the solistice that happen four times a year (two times each). The seasons change in June, December, September, and March.

Pespective

Zoom is a book that is quite interesting. The book has no words and keeps zooming out. At the beginning of the book it starts off with a roosters comb. At the end it ends with the world. I noticed with my inferences that I was totally wrong. But each time the book would zoom out your prediction would change. I think the book has to do with perspective because you have to look at the picture and think outside the box.
When you look at certain items you don't always see it accurately. Like in the book zoom you had to look at things with an open mind. You cant look at things with a tunnel vision because you wont see the big picture. But if you look at the object in a different perspective then you may see the object accurately. It helps to look at things in different directions. When you look at things like that the you see things upside down and sideways.

In the field of science different jobs need to look at things in perspective or closely. Like a scientist looking at how the body works. They might want to look at things closer compared to a scientists looking at dinosaur bones. As we go into our new unit Astronomy we want be aware at different perspectives because you may miss something important.

Enigma Box

The enigma box activity caused me to use skills scientists use. The skills I used are predicting, model making, and observation. Those are the three I used but I had left out two. The two are classifying and inferring.
In my observations are as following. I found there was two holes in the top of the enigma box. There was also a smaller hole in the side of the box. At 400 ml there was some drops coming out of the side hole. As all 500 ml of water was in the enigma box all the water started to come out of the box in a fluid motion.
Based on my observations I think there is something not letting it out until the appropriate pressure is in the enigma box. The way I picture it is like a hose. If you put your finger over the outlet of the hose it will get to a point were it will go out the sides.
In the end the box had a tube in it. When the water got above the flow level it started to flow out. The drops were caused by left over water from the experiment before this one.
