Why doesn't your food go down your esophogus after you eat?
Your food goes down your "esophagus" (food tube) and not your "trachea" (breathing tube) because when you eat you do not breathe.Try it.See?You can never breathe when you eat because on top of your trachea is a little flap called the "epiglottis" (flap).When you can't breathe or when you eat the "epiglottis" (flap) closes so that way the food can't get down the "trachea" (breathing tube).

What is the flap in your esophagus called?
The name of the structure at the top of the esophagus is the "epiglottis". This structure is very important in protecting the vocal cords, trachea, and the lungs. It does this by covering the opening to the vocal cords and making an airtight seal. It also holds air in our lungs so we can form a cough, and produce extra pressure in our lungs, called "peep" (positive end expiratory pressure). So, it is actually a very important organ.

How do you make a paper cube and can you show me?
take any kind of paper. then cut it into a cross like shape. make sure it looks like a "T"- the bottom is longer than the top. have the "T" facing you upright. fold the top square down. crease it then put it back up. do the same with the two corners. then on the long piece, split it up. half way in, fold and crease. then fold the rest into the middle. unfold everything. now put up the top flap and the left flap so they are touching. tape. then tape the right flap to that. then tape the CLOSEST flap to that. [[since you made the bottom flap 2 flaps tape the one on top]] you should have a open box shape thing now. for your finale step tape the only flap left on top and then you should have a cube! good luck!I hope it works!!
