What causes the Seasons ?

The seasons are caused by the earths solstice and equinox. On the equinox the sun points directly at the middle if earth north or south are tilted. On the solstice the sun points at the north prt of earth or the south part of the earth. The planet is tilted. When the sun is pointing to the soth of the equator it is cold in the north and hot in the south. Samething, when the sun is pointing north it is hot in the north but cold in the south. This is what causes our seasons. The sun is not pointing directly at us or it is. The two factors that does this is the EQUINOX and the SOLSTICE.

Zoom

In the book Zoom it went from a really close view and then it went out. The Big thing you would expect it was a different thing that you would not expect like for example, you were really close to something like a crown of a rooster but the thing was you were so close that you thought it was a big thing of bacteria going all over the place. The thing is it would take you in one perspective and then take you on a roller coaster and it would be way different from what you had.
In the units of 10 it also took you on a adventure. It went from a close view and then it would go out and it showed us how tiny we are in the universe. After that it showed how tiny our galaxy is to all the stars in the other worlds there are. After you go all the way out you go back in and go into yourself and see the tiny cells that live in you and after all that you were still confused but you are now done.

In the whole experience you were trying to figure out what the thing is but also what comes next. The book Zoom and the little video units of 10 is cool but at the same time very weird because it takes you on a strange roller coaster that you will get lost in. This is a funny thing you might like to try but also try to guess right.

The five skills a scientist needs are observation, inferring, make models, classifying and predicting. First for observation, the reason the need to do this is to see what will happen and see what happens. After that inferring, to explain what the observation or the knowledge was about.Next is predicting, to guess what will come in the future or what will happen in minutes. Then classifying, put things that are the same into groups and then into a group. Finally you make models. Some make maps others pictures of the place so you can recognize.
The enigma box can contain liquid for as long as it can and then it empties after so long. the way all the liquid gets out is pressure. In the enigma box the thing that pushed all the water out was the air. The enigma box held back 1700 milliliters of colored water before it finally gave way and all the yellow colored water came out. Like a human pressure to push out all the water or liquids out.
The enigma box would look all yellow after it was emptied because the water that was pushed out was colored and yellow. The walls would look watery and yellowed and the tube leading it out of the enigma box would look yellow. The enigma box is like a human bladder. It contains liquid for so long and then it finally lets it all go down the well.
The five skills scientist need are vary important to have to work by your self and with others around you. They still learn and and help learn more about the world around us also how we are and the animals around us as well. The enigma box is an example that scientist showed for us to learn more about how the human body is made. These are those that the scientist use observation, inferring, predicting, classifying, and last but not least making a model.
