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!
Temperature’s effect on molecular speed
溫度對分子速度的影響
In this experiment we’re going to find out if temperature affects the speed of molecules in water.

What you will need:
Six clear glasses
Food coloring
Water (cold, room temperature and hot)
Salt
A spoon
►Fill two glasses with cold water, two with water that is about room temperature and two with very hot water. You can use ice or a freezer to get cold water, but when you’re doing the experiment, none of the water should be frozen. Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot water!
►Put about a teaspoon of salt into three of the glasses (one of each temperature). Stir.
►Wait a few minutes for the water you just stirred to stop moving. It’s important for the next step that the water in each glass is absolutely still.
►Add two drops of food coloring to each of the glasses. Observe the way the food coloring moves through the water.(MICHAEL KEARNEY, STAFF WRITER)
在本實驗中,我們要來查明溫度是否會影響水中分子的速度。
所需材料︰
六個乾淨的玻璃杯
食用色素
水(冰水、溫水和熱水)
鹽
一個湯匙
►裝兩杯冰水、兩杯室溫下的水,和兩杯非常燙的熱水;你可以用冰塊或冰庫製成冰水,但在進行實驗時,不能用結冰的水;用熱水的時候要小心別燙傷自己!
►在三杯水中(三種溫度各一)各加入一茶匙鹽巴,然後攪拌。
►等個幾分鐘,等你剛剛攪拌的水都靜止下來;杯中的水需完全靜止後才能進行下一個步驟。
►在六杯水中都各自加入兩滴食用色素,觀察食用色素在水中運動的情形。(翻譯︰袁星塵)
The debate surrounding Taipower’s recent corporate identity reboot has gone well beyond the design community. The controversy began after Taipower replaced the familiar “Taiwan Power Company” wording — widely regarded as the calligraphy of Yu You-ren (1879-1964), former Control Yuan president and master calligrapher — with a modern logotype by designer Aaron Nieh’s team, Aaron Nieh Workshop. Taipower said the change was not a wholesale replacement of old signage, but an “optimization of its identity system,” aimed at meeting the needs of digital media, electronic bills, apps, social media graphics and various small-format applications. Existing physical markings, such as building
As bee populations around the world continue to decline at an alarming rate, scientists are developing an innovative solution: robotic bees. Recent advances at research institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have produced tiny flying robots capable of performing pollination tasks similar to those of real bees. These tiny machines represent an impressive technological achievement. MIT’s latest models can hover in the air for over 1,000 seconds and perform complex movements, demonstrating the agility needed for successful pollination. The robots are designed to mimic the flight patterns of natural bees, offering potential support to agriculture
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang For the most part, the idea of “Blue Monday” has been rejected as a myth. Some mental health experts also say there is a danger in labeling a certain day as the most depressing time of the entire year. Some argue that if people expect to feel sadder on the third Monday in January, this belief alone may increase their anxiety. One group that is worried about the negative effect of believing in Blue Monday is Samaritans. A mental health charity based in the UK, Samaritans is working to turn Blue Monday into “Brew Monday.” In this
A: Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, so this week marks the seventh anniversary of that milestone. By the end of 2024, a total of 32,126 LGBT couples had tied the knot. B: How many of them got married to foreign partners? A: In 2024, there were 504 cross-border same-sex marriages. By the end of that year, there were 130 cross-strait same-sex marriages between Taiwanese and Chinese — accounting for only about 0.4 percent of the total. B: I’ve heard that a seven-year marriage brings the “seven-year itch.” I bet some couples regret their decisions now. A:
