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！
This week we are going to explore the relationship between our senses and food, or more specifically, flavors. Make sure you wash your hands before this experiment!

本週我們要來探索我們的感官和食物間的關聯，更精準地說，就是我們的味覺。實驗開始前，你得先把雙手洗乾淨喔！
所需材料︰
一些不同口味的糖果（水果口味效果最佳）
一個眼罩
一本筆記本
一枝筆
一杯水
★ 幫你的朋友戴上眼罩。
★ 請你的朋友緊緊捏住自己的鼻子。
★ 給你朋友一顆糖，你要記下口味。
★ 她把糖放入口中後，問她這是什麼口味，並請她不斷吸含這顆糖果。
★ 過幾分鐘後，再問她一次，並記下她的描述。
★ 當她吃完後，讓她喝一點水。
★ 再給她另一種口味試試看。
★ 她能分辨出這顆糖果的口味嗎？ （翻譯：袁星塵）
