Enigma Box

Mrs. Casey showed us a black box that has two holes on one side and one on the other. Mrs. Casey put about a cup of water in it nothing came out! she poured more and more until it was about eight cups. then the water started pooring out non stop until their was no more water left. We the class did not know how this was possible we had a few guesses like it was a pully system or a little cup was in side.... we finaly found out that Mrs. Casey put a staw or tube in side the box twisted and the only reason that the water did not come out right away because the water wasn't over the staw because of the pressure of the water flow the water wasn't forcing it through the straw cause it wasn't over the straw once its over then the pressure will keep the flow going. So now we can make our own enigma box with simple steps..... one get a rectangular box that can hold water...... second open one side of the box put a bendy straw in side that kind of makes a loop....... and have one end sticking out and make a hole on the top of the box....... then poor water in once the water is over the top of the straw the water will poor out and the force will stay the same because of the water flow.
