Science Journal 科學日誌

What do you know about detergent? What is it used for? Do you think it will make the NT$1 coins shiny? What do you know about vinegar? Can you use it for cleaning? Is it an acid or an alkali? What can you use salt for? Do you think it will make the coins shiny when mixed with water? Is cola acidic or alkaline? What do you think might happen if you put a coin in cola?

你對洗潔劑了解有多少?它是用來幹嘛的?你覺得它能讓一元硬幣變得閃亮嗎?你了解醋嗎?它能清潔物品嗎?是酸性還是鹼性?你能用鹽來幹嘛?它和水混合後能讓錢幣變得閃亮嗎?可樂是酸性還是鹼性?把錢幣放進可樂會發生什麼事?

 

Further ideas 進階點子

What happens if you add salt to cola? How does the cola react? Does it make the coin shiny? What about cola and detergent? Cola and vinegar? Try leaving a glass with a coin and cola and a glass with vinegar and a coin overnight. What happens to the coins? Which solutions make the coins the shiniest? Do the solutions work on NT$10 coins, too? How about NT$50 coins? Why do you think this is? Don't forget to record your observations in your Science Journal.

如果把鹽加進可樂會怎麼樣?可樂有什麼反應?它會讓錢幣閃閃發亮嗎?可樂加清潔劑呢?或可樂加醋?試著在放了一元硬幣的杯子裡加入可樂,另一杯則加入醋,放置一夜後錢幣會產生什麼變化呢?哪幾種溶劑能讓錢幣最閃亮?它們對十元硬幣也會有效嗎?五十元的硬幣呢?為什麼?別忘了在《科學日誌》裡記下你的觀察。
