歡迎閱讀《週日科學版》！我們每週日都要為你介紹可以在家中進行的有趣科學實驗。你可以在《科學日誌》中記錄自己做了哪些活動，這樣就可以將所學的紀錄下來，比較這些結果，也許還可以利用它們來設計新的實驗！先看一下《科學日誌》的點子再開始吧。展開實驗之前，記得要獲得大人許可喔！
Taiwan has lots of earthquakes. Do you know why? This week we're going to look at plate tectonic theory. This experiment can be very messy, so make sure you do it over a bowl or a sink.
What you will need:
A box of eggs

Toothpaste
The chamber part of a syringe
A bowl
A large world map
Tracing paper (optional)
Tissues (optional)
▲ Ask a grown-up to help you hard-boil some eggs. Gently tap the pointed end of one of the eggs when it's still raw so that you break a small part of the shell.
▲ As the eggs boil, observe what happens to the damaged egg.
▲ Let the eggs cool. Put the damaged egg to one side.
▲ Very carefully tap an egg on a hard surface so that you get some cracks in the shell. Be careful, you don't want too many, one or two is fine!
▲ The surface of the egg is now a little like the surface of the earth, with separate plates. Try gently moving the plates around by pressing gently on the egg's surface. Move them so that they slide past each other
and move away from each other. How do the plates interact?
▲ Choose a crack and push on either side so that the plates move toward each other and change shape. What does the result remind you of?
▲ Take the syringe chamber and put in a few squeezes of toothpaste.
▲ Take the damaged egg. It should have some cracks along the surface. Hold the egg so that you can see a nice long crack.
▲ Clear part of the shell away at the point of the egg so that you can see the white inside.
▲ Insert the nozzle into the egg white. Then slowly start pumping the toothpaste into the egg. Observe what happens.(CATHERINE THOMAS, STAFF WRITER)
台灣常常有地震，你知道為什麼嗎？這週我們要來探索「地表板塊構造論」，這個實驗會弄得很髒，所以你最好在一個碗裡或水槽中進行。
所需材料︰
一盒雞蛋
牙膏
針筒的筒身
一個碗
一大張世界地圖
描圖紙（非必要）
紙巾（非必要）
▲ 請大人幫你把幾顆蛋連殼煮到全熟；在蛋還是生的時候，先輕敲其中一顆的尖頭端，讓蛋殼破裂一小塊。
▲ 蛋煮熟後，觀察那顆破損的雞蛋有什麼變化。
▲ 把蛋放涼，取出破損的蛋，放到一旁。
▲ 在堅硬的表面上非常小心地輕敲一顆蛋，讓蛋殼產生裂縫；注意，你不需要敲裂太多，一、兩處就夠了！
▲ 現在，雞蛋的表面有點接近地球表面，有分散的板塊。試著輕輕地在雞蛋表面施加壓力，使板塊和緩地在周圍移動，從彼此間滑過又移開，這些板塊如何相互影響？
▲ 選一個裂縫從其中一側施力，這樣板塊會朝彼此移動，進而改變形狀，結果會讓你想到什麼？
▲ 在針筒中擠入一些牙膏。
▲ 取來受損的雞蛋，那上面應該有一些裂縫，托住這顆蛋以便觀察上面完整的長條裂縫。
▲ 將雞蛋尖頭端部份蛋殼剝掉，你就可以看到裡面的蛋白。
▲ 將針嘴插入蛋白，然後慢慢地將牙膏擠壓入蛋中，觀察後續情況。 （翻譯：袁星塵）
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
A: The four-day Tomb Sweeping Day long weekend begins Friday and will run until Monday. Are you going to sweep your ancestors’ tombs? B: I did in advance last weekend, so I can go to Kaohsiung to see the musical “The Phantom of the Opera.” A: Wow, is “Phantom” touring Taiwan again? It debuted in 1986, so this year marks the 40th anniversary of the show. B: And it’s not just touring Kaohsiung starting March 31, but also Taipei starting April 21 and Taichung starting May 26. A: “Phantom” is one of the world’s Four Major Musicals. I’ve seen all of them, except “Les
A: Apart from the musical The Phantom of the Opera, off-Broadway classic “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” and musical-themed concert “Broadway Hits Live” are also touring Taiwan. B: Musical-themed concert? That sounds interesting. A: Set for April 18 and 19, the show will feature a group of Broadway vocalists and dancers — with British singer Keala Settle as a special guest. B: So the audience can enjoy all the timeless hits from various shows at one concert. . . I like that. A: And there’s more: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musical Jesus Christ Superstar will finally visit Taiwan for the first time
Despite being a basic tool, pens come in a wide variety of forms. Classic styles include fountain pens, which deliver liquid ink smoothly through metal tips. Another common type is the ballpoint pen, which is easy to use. There are even special felt pens that are especially popular among artists. __1__ They have a small hole at the top. So why is it there in the first place? Could it actually be a design flaw? __2__ Since 1991, companies such as BIC have been producing ballpoint pens with holes in their caps for two main reasons: quality control
