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!
Cup phones 傳聲筒
This week we're going to use two cups and some string to make a telephone that you can use to tell secrets to your friends!
What you will need:

Two disposable cups (You can make more than one set of cup phones. Try using cups that are different sizes and made from different materials, such as cardboard, plastic or tin. If you use tin, be careful of sharp edges.)
A long (about 4m to 5m) piece of string
Paperclips
Scissors
Tape
★ Clean out the cups and poke a small hole in the bottom of each one. The hole should be just big enough to poke the string through.
★ Put one end of the string through one of the cups. Tie it to a paperclip so the string won't be able to go back through the hole (the paperclip should be inside the cup). Attach some tape around the hole to close it up.
★ Do the same with the other cup.
★ Take one of the cups and have a friend take the other. Stand apart, with one person holding one of the cups up to his or her ear and the other talking into the other one. Make sure the string is taut. Don't forget to record your findings in your Science Journal.(michael kearney, staff writer)
本週我們要用兩個杯子和一些線來製作可以用來和朋友分享秘密的電話!
所需材料︰
兩個免洗杯(你可以做不止一組的傳聲筒,試著用不同大小或不同材質的杯子,例如紙杯、塑膠杯或罐頭。若使用罐頭,請留意銳利的罐口緣。)
一段長度約四到五公尺的線
迴紋針
剪刀
膠帶
★ 將每個杯子清潔乾淨後在底部戳一個小洞,這個洞只要大到可以把線穿進去即可。
★ 將線的一端穿過一個杯子,然後綁上迴紋針,讓線不致溜出杯洞(迴紋針應在杯內)。在杯洞口封上膠帶。
★ 另一個杯子也如法炮製。
★ 你拿一個杯子,你的朋友拿另一個杯子,兩人站遠一點,一個人將杯子靠近她或他的耳朵,另一個對著杯子說話,線必須要拉緊才行喔。別忘了把自己的發現寫在《科學日誌》中!

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
