ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Zoom was an interesting book that puts everything in size and perspective. It made everything look small but large in another way. The perspective part is what it mainly is trying to tell you about. That's because it takes a comb of a rooster and picture by picture it works its way out to seeing the whole world.
There were many times that i thought it was something but i was totally wrong. But you always new what it was after it would zoom out you would see it. It also helped when it would zoom out because it would be a magazine or something that would be a picture. but you never new if it as real or just a picture so you always had to take your best guess.
I think that some scientist would be interested in this book. It changes your thought on how you see different thing. I know that when i learned that if the north star was the size of Everest than the earth would be the size of a golf ball then we are just a tiny little thing. It also make you think if we are that small think of how small microscopic things in comparison. But truly i think anyone would like this book and learn about pace because there is so much to learn and so much to find out.

Enigma Box
I think there is a tube that holds the water until it is full then it comes out. Or it is the air that is in the tube. That pressurizes it until it is all gone.
The skills scientist use are predicting, observing, classifying, inferring, and making models. Predicting is when you guess about the future and what happens. You must use all of these to be a good scientist. Inferring is when you see if your prediction was right and right info you got wrong. Observing is after predicting and it is when you see what happens. Then you can classify if you where right or wrong. I had to use these when I didn't know what was in the enigma box. So i went through the process.
What happened in the expiration was there is a tube inside it. it was pressurized and then until the water got to the top it all came down and pressure made it keep going. So really it was not the tube i was talking about. But it was a different tube that you would use for other things like a hose.
