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！
Have you ever wondered if plants lose water from their leaves? This week we're going to do an experiment to find out.
What you will need:
Various kinds of leafy plants

Small plastic bags or ziplock bags
Tape (optional)
▲ Before you start, note that this works best on plants exposed to the sun.
▲ Put a plastic bag around one leaf on each plant. Close the bag in such a way that water won't be able to easily escape. Be careful not to crush the stem of the leaf.
▲ Close another bag and leave it to one side. This is your control.
▲ Periodically take a look at the bags. Note how much moisture appears in each of the bags.
▲ After a couple hours, take the bags off the plants and record your observations.

你是否曾想過植物內的水分會不會從它們的葉子流失呢？這個星期，我們將要做實驗來驗證。
所需材料︰
各類多葉植物
小塑膠袋或是封口袋
膠帶（可有可無）
▲實驗以前，請注意：如果將植物暴露在陽光下，實驗效果會最好。
▲將塑膠袋套在每一株植物的其中一片葉子上，然後將袋口封好，讓水氣不容易跑掉。請小心不要把葉柄給壓壞了。
▲將另一個塑膠袋也封好，然後放置一旁，作為對照組。
▲定期觀察這些塑膠袋，注意每一個袋子有多少水氣出現。
▲數小時後，將塑膠袋從植物上拿下來，並記錄所觀察到的現象。

Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
A ‘Dutch angle’ is a classic camera technique that has been used in filmmaking since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Hollywood by German Expressionists. Why is it called the Dutch angle if it’s actually German? In fact, it has no __1__ to the Netherlands. The term “Dutch” is widely believed to be a misinterpretation of “Deutsch,” which means German in the German language. In any event, the name stuck, and the Dutch angle remains a popular cinematic tool to this day. This technique involves tilting the camera on its x-axis, skewing the shot to create a sense of
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
Dos & Don’ts — 想想看，這句話英語該怎麼說？ 1. 能做的事都做了。 ˇ All that could be done has been done. χ All that could be done have been done. 註︰all 指事情或抽象概念時當作單數。例如： All is well that ends well. （結果好就是好。） All is over with him. （他已經沒希望了。） That’s all for today. （今天到此為止。） all 指人時應當作複數。例如： All of us are interested in his proposal. All of us are doing our best. 2. 我們這麼做有益於我們的健康。 ˇ What we are doing is good for our health. χ What we are doing are good for our health. 註︰以關係代名詞 what 引導的作為主詞的子句，動詞用單數。如： What he said is true. 3. 大家都沿著步道跑。 ˇ Everybody runs along the trail. χ Everybody run along the trail. 註︰everyone 是指一大群人，但在文法上一般用單數。 4. 桌上有一本筆記本和兩支筆。 ˇ There were two
