Zoom

In the book zoom you get to learn the whole new prospectives of photographers. In this book you see many unexpected pictures. Zooming in on Earthis cool when you can get that specific. the book starts on the tiniest object that you wouldn'd expect.

Have you ever thoght that you were only seeing one thing. But in that one thing there are many more there. In the book zoom you get extremely specific from the stamp to the Earth. Earth is the one hing that seems anywhere close to specfic.

You start by looking at something you don't always see. But then you get a shot from farther out and you get something else. This gives the effect that you see a enlarged picture that keeps getting larger. But then once your done with the book you seem to notice more things around you.

You end up guessing what is in front of me as though it were a jigsaw puzzle. then you click you get it so you geuss whats going to happen or change next. The enlarged image gets even bigger proving you wrong again. All in all this was a great book to look at.

Enigma box

Enigma Box

The enigma box has two holes in the top, and in the bottom there is a tube sticking out. At 100 milliliters it started to drip, and the same at 200 mililiters. At 300 and 400 mililiters it was still dripping. But however at 500 milliliters the enigma box started a steady stream out of the tube. I thought that there was a valve in the tube only alowing water to go through at the right pressure. Then again I thought that there was a tiny hole not letting water go though vary fast until the right pressure. Hense the constant dripping. One of the holes was small and the other large.



The silk container was the same except it was bigger so it needed more water. They each had a tube coming out. The silk jug however had the tube coming out of the side. Still amazed on the fact that water wouldn't come out until the right amount. The silk jug finally worked when 700-800 milliliters where pored into the container.



We guessed that a valve was stopping the water, because the water didn't poor until the right amount. Many others had their bazaar ideas. One, for example was an elephant drinking the water until it drank too much. Others thought that the water was put pressure on a vary small hole. Many thought that it was a timer that would count and then let all the water flow out.



Enigma stands for puzzle, because people would usually guess that there was a valve or tiny holes or at least that's what I thought. That was at least until my teacher, Mrs. Casey gave me the answer to what was really going on in the enigma box. What it really was, was a tube that touched the bottom came up aways and then went back outside of the box. The water had to fill to the right height which enabled the water to go though and out of the enigma box.
