summerizing the gizmo
Seasons are caused by revolution and the earths tilt. the earth revolves around the sun 1 time. this is called a year.during this time, different parts of the earth are getting the suns direct sunlight. this results in season. while the norther hemishper is experiancing summer, the southern is experiancing winter. while southern hemishper is experiancing summer we experiance winter. when its summer, the days are longer. when its winter the days are shorter.

Zoom
The book Zoom, was basically about guessing what the big picture was, or what the picture would turn into. The inferences i made weren't entierly correct, but they somewhat had the same idea. I believe this book deals with perspective because you have to look at the book and all its details to really figure out whats coming. also predicting plays a part in this book, u have to predict to see whats coming.
There has been multiple times when i thought i saw something for what it was, but when i changed my perspective on it i relized i was wrong. Or sometimes my perspective on the worlds economics are right or wrong. usually when someone points out that i have been wrong, it alters my perspective. Or if something in the world change it changes my persective too.
A scientist uses perspective to observe objects every day. they have to look at germs and starts and lots of ther anumals and objects. with perspective they can predict the outcome of things. for example, they look at the sun and the earth and figure how parts of the earth is tilted away from the sun that that pat of the earth is experiancing night time. As Mrs. Caseys 8th grade studies astronomy, it might be a good idea to be aware of perspective because we need it to predict what will happen in the future for the planets or stars.

enigma box
Mrs. Casey put 500 mils of water into the enigma box. the box is black and has 3 holes, 2 on top, 1 bigger than the other, and 1 hole at the bottom of the box. the first few millimeters Mrs. Casey poured in to the box, nothing happened. After about 450 millimeters, the water started to slowly come out of the bottom hole.
i think there is a maze in the box, which causes it to take a while for it to get to the very end of the enigma box and threw the bottom hole and into the cup. that is my prediction.
skills scientist use are, predicting, classifying, observing, inferring, and model. scientist use this daily to observe creatures, plants, and other objects. i found out that there was 1 tube inside the enigma box, mrs casey had to put so much in the box to make the water preasure rise so it could all come out at the bottom. my prediction was close but wasnt exactly right people all over the world use scientist skill every day as a daily part of there lives.
in the end, i found out that my prediction wasnt right and that there was a tube inside the box. i also learned the 5 skills scientist use and that people use them every day of our lives! i also learned a bit about how water preasure works and how the enigma box worked.
