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!
What would you do if you were trapped on a deserted island and there was no clean water to drink? You'd have to make a water filter!
What you will need:

A water bottle
A pitcher
Scissors or a knife
Cotton
Gravel
Sand
Cooking oil
Dirt
★ Have an adult help you cut the water bottle into half horizontally.
★ Rinse the cotton, gravel and sand.
★ Put some of the cotton into the top half of the water bottle you cut into two.
★ Put some of the gravel on top of the cotton.
★ Put some of the sand on top of the gravel.
★ Make some dirty water in the pitcher. Use tap water, and add things like cooking oil and dirt.
★ Use the bottom half of the water bottle you cut into two to collect water. Pour some of the dirty water into your filter.
★ The water that comes out of the filter should be much cleaner than the dirty water you poured in (note that it might not be crystal clear). No matter how clean the water looks, however, don't drink it (unless you really are trapped on a deserted island and you have no other water). Don't forget to record your observations in your science journal.

假如你被困在一個荒島上,那裡沒有乾淨的水可以喝,你要怎麼辦?你可得自己做一個濾水器!
所需材料︰
一個水瓶
一個大水壺
一把剪刀或刀子
棉花
小碎石
沙子
沙拉油
泥土
★ 請一個大人幫你把水瓶橫向剪成一半。
★ 將棉花、小碎石和沙子沖洗一下。
★ 將若干棉花放入你剛剪成兩半的瓶子上半截。
★ 在棉花上放一些小碎石。
★ 在小碎石上放一些沙子。
★ 在大水壺裡裝自來水,再加入一些像是沙拉油、泥土的東西製造出髒水。
★ 用你剛剪成兩半的水瓶下半截裝水,然後把髒水倒入你的濾水器中。
★ 從濾水器流出來的水應該比你倒入的髒水乾淨許多(注意:可能不是完全清澈的淨水);無論倒出來的水看起來有多乾淨,請不要拿來喝(除非你真的被困在荒島,附近沒有其他水源)。別忘了在《科學日誌》裡記下你的觀察。

William I of Prussia, a passionate painter, often autographed his works with “tormentis pinxit” — “painted in pain” — as a nod to his struggles with gout. Other historical figures like King Henry VIII of England and Benjamin Franklin also suffered from this “disease of kings,” which was common among people indulging in luxurious diets. Gout is primarily caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. Uric acid forms as the body breaks down purines, which are found in foods like red meat and seafood. Normally, the kidneys filter out uric acid. However, if the body produces
The UN Ocean Conference wrapped up in Nice, France on Friday last week with world leaders taking major steps toward marine protection and vowing a showdown when nations meet to negotiate rules for deep-sea mining next month. But a lack of funding pledges and the total omission of fossil fuels disappointed some observers. The summit was just the third — and largest yet — dedicated entirely to what the United Nations calls an “emergency” in the world’s oceans. The High Seas Treaty, or Global Ocean Treaty, is also known as the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law
A: The National Palace Museum (NPM) has launched an exhibition, titled “From Impressionism to Early Modernism.” There are 81 masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art on display now. B: The exhibit, held to celebrate the NPM’s centennial, must be so spectacular. A: It includes artworks by 38 artists, such as Renoir, van Gogh, Cezanne, Matisse and Gauguin. B: The Fubon Art Museum has also launched an exhibit featuring a number of artworks of Impressionism, including Monet’s “Water Lilies.” A: And the New Taipei City Art Museum just had its grand opening, so there are even more exhibitions
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Living on the ISS is challenging due to the absence of gravity. Astronauts must strap themselves into sleeping bags to prevent floating away while they sleep. They also spend about two hours exercising daily using specialized equipment. Despite this, microgravity can cause muscle loss, bone density reduction and cardiovascular changes. As a result, astronauts require extensive rehabilitation upon their return to Earth. In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
