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!
Condensation 凝結作用
This week's experiment explains one of those things that you might have noticed, but never really thought about why it happens. In this experiment we are mainly concerned with what happens on the outside of the glass. However as with all science experiments, keep your eyes open for other effects too.
What you will need:

Four glasses (jars will work too)
Ice cubes
Water
★ Take one glass and place it on the worktop. This is your control glass. Observe the glass for 30 seconds. Note any changes you see in your Science Journal.
★ Fill one glass three-quarters full of very warm tap water. Observe the glass for 30 seconds. Note any changes you see in your Science Journal.
★ Fill another glass three-quarters full of tepid tap water. Observe the glass for 30 seconds.
★ Fill another glass three-quarters full of iced water. Observe the glass for 30 seconds.
★ If your experiment doesn't seem to work, you may have a dehumidifier running. Try the experiment again outside.(CATHERINE THOMAS, STAFF WRITER)
本週的實驗可以解釋一個你平常可能會發現,但卻沒有認真想過原理的事;在這個實驗中,我們主要想了解的是「玻璃外發生了什麼事」,然而,就像其他所有的科學實驗一樣,眼睛張大點你也許就會發現其他的結果。
所需材料︰
四個玻璃杯(罐子也行)
冰塊
水
★ 放一個杯子在你的工作檯上,這是你的對照組,觀察這個杯子三十秒,將你觀察到的任何變化紀錄在《科學日誌》中。
★ 將一個杯子中裝四分之三杯有點熱的溫水,觀察這個杯子三十秒,將你觀察到的任何變化紀錄在《科學日誌》中。
★ 將另一個杯子裝四分之三杯微溫的自來水,觀察三十秒。
★ 將另一個杯子裝四分之三杯的冰水,觀察三十秒。
★ 如果你的實驗不太成功,你可以打開除濕機,試著到戶外再實驗一次。(翻譯:袁星塵)
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
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
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
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
