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！
You've probably seen fire extinguishers around, but do you know how they work? Today we're going to do an experiment that shows how fire extinguishers can put out a flame by depriving it of oxygen.
What you will need:
Candles

A lighter or matches (Get help from your parents when lighting the candles.)
A bowl
A small plate
Baking soda
Vinegar
★ You need to cut the candles so they're different lengths, and both need to be shorter than the bowl.
★ Fill the plate with baking soda, and place it into the bowl.
★ Stand the candles up in the baking soda.
★ Light the candles.
★ Pour vinegar into the baking soda. Be careful not to pour vinegar onto the flame.
★ Watch the candles. The short one should go out before the large one. If neither one goes out, try adding more vinegar. Don't forget to record your observations in your science journal.

你也許看過週遭的滅火器，但你知道它們為什麼可以滅火嗎？今天我們要來實驗看看滅火器如何隔絕氧氣、撲滅火焰。
所需材料︰
蠟燭
一個打火機或火柴（請父母幫你點燃蠟燭）
一個碗
一個小碟子
小蘇打
醋
★ 你需要兩根不等長的蠟燭，但是這兩根蠟燭都必須短過你準備的碗。
★ 在小碟子中裝滿小蘇打粉，再一起放入碗中。
★ 把蠟燭直立置放在小蘇打上。
★ 點燃蠟燭。
★ 把醋加入小蘇打粉中，小心不要將醋倒到火焰上。
★ 觀察蠟燭，短的那根應該會比長的早熄滅；如果兩根都沒熄滅，可以再加一點醋試試看。別忘了在《科學日誌》中記下你的觀察。

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:
