Gizmo Conclusion

There are a few factors that cause seasons. Well, the main factor of the cause of seasons is the tilt of the axis of the earth during revolution. While in revolution, the earths axis tilts causing a change in weather on a certain section of the earth (location depends on the earths location of the earth in its orbit). The reason its so hot in the summer is because there is more daylight hours (12 hours), and the sun is highest in the sky. The reason it is so cold in the winter is because there is only 10 hours of daylight and the sun is lowest in the sky. In conclusion, those are some factors of the seasons on earth.

Science "Perspective" paragraphs 9-16-08

The book, "Zoom" is an illustration book that makes the reader think and wander whats on the next page. The plot of this book is after every page the book would zoom out, referring to the title, "Zoom." This book has a lot to do with perspective because, when people crack open this book they first see an orange-red colored wave. When the reader(s) read this they think of many different things it could be, and when or what will the next illustration be on the opposite page. So it shows what that persons perspective is of what is in their minds. When I first saw the first illustration I inferred there wasn't really any point to the book, but as I saw the next page i realized there was a total point and all of it made sense. It was cool.

Finding different perspectives of things that other people think yet, getting the same solution you may get is kind of cool. Well when if I were to see something accurately, seeing it in a different perspective, I would find it different, yes. The reason why is that if knowing there was another perspective it would be kind of, well, different because you know that other people find the same solution using a different point of view. So it's kind of cool knowing there are many perspectives of people ending up thinking the same thing you do.
Altering perspectives is very cool because you can brainstorm many ideas to find a reasonable point of view. When you brainstorm perspectives you think of what might can, really, and possibly happen. When I see the word perspective I think of the word, "opinion" because, a perspective is like what you think will happen or what you think something is.

Many people (scientists or normal people) may be more interested in observing objects close up then objects far away. I believe people would want to observe objects close up because when you observe things from close up get very intact with the subject and u can get close and observe it more personally. While when seeing and observing objects from farther away, "what you see is what you get." You will not be able to observe it as much to the level as you would when you are observing a close up object.
Perspective is important in many ways. What is important about perspective is that its almost like you have an endless list of opinions that you can believe is a solution to what you think things are. When in perspective you can think your own way, without getting back-up opinions from other friends. Yet it is very good to compare your perspective with your friends to see if you and him/her may have been thinking the same things
so in many ways perspective can help you out

Enigma Box

"Enigma Box" Description

The "enigma box" (Puzzle Box) was a very unique and complex object. The enigma box is a black rectangular prism. On the box there are three holes. The box has 2 holes (one big one small) on one of the far sides and another big hole at the opposite side. As I observed the object when the water went down into the enigma box, the water didn't seem to come out immediately. The water came out after about 300 milliliters. Yet, the liquid would have stopped if not all 500 milliliters were to be put into the enigma box.

What I Think Was Inside the "Enigma Box"

When I was introduced to the enigma box i thought it was really cool, yet I started to think of what was inside the enigma box. When I saw that the water didn't come out immediately I thought there was a maze. I brainstormed to myself that if there was a maze not all 500 milliliters would come out. So I thought to myself about maybe there being stages in large quantities. So that the stages would be at angles to where the water goes down the box slowly. So the water ends after a certain amount of liquid is put down the enigma box.

5 Skills Scientists Use

The five skills scientists use are inferring, predicting, using models, observing, and quantitative and qualitative observations to observe objects. Scientists predict by telling what they think will happen in the future based on past experiences and events. Scientists observe objects by using one or more senses (smell, touch, hear, see, thought, and taste). Scientists also observe objects using models. Using models scientists may study the object up close and learn more about the object. They also observe objects quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative observations are based off numbers, while qualitative observations are based off of descriptions. Last, inferring an object is observing based on what you already know.

What is Really Inside the "Enigma Box"

The enigma box was a very complex thought yet, very simple. All the enigma box had to do with was a tube and a box. One end of the tube was at the bottom. While the other end was attached to a hole in the side. When the water was pored into the box the water level would increase. When the water level increased the water would go up the tube. As the water reached the highest point of the tube it would flow down the tube out of the side and come out of the side. Now the enigma box has been solved it seems so simple yet very complex.
