Welcome to Sunday Science! Every Sunday during the summer, we’re going to guide you through some cool experiments that you can do at home. It’s a good idea for you to keep a record of what you do in a Science Journal. That way you can record what you learn, compare results and maybe use them to design new experiments! Have a look at the Science Journal box for some ideas to get you started. Remember to always ask a grown-up’s permission before trying out an experiment.
歡迎閱讀《週日科學版》！在暑假期間，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！
Making a volcano 動手作火山
What you will need:
An empty water bottle
Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
Vinegar
Dish soap
Food coloring (red)
A tray (to put everything on)
A cup or pouring jug
A spoon
A funnel (if you don’t have one at home, you can make one from cardboard covered with tinfoil or use a pouring jug to add the ingredients)
Some sand or modeling clay (optional)
Glitter (optional)
Old Newspaper
* Place the newspaper over your working surface.
* Put the tray on the newspaper. Put your empty bottle in the middle of the tray and put the funnel in the neck of the bottle.
* Use the spoon to put baking soda in the bottle. Put in enough to cover the bottom of the bottle well. If you are using glitter add this too.
* If you are using sand or modeling clay, shape it around the bottle (to about 3/4 of the way up) to make it look like a volcano or mountain.
* In the cup or jug combine 1/4 cup of vinegar, two big drops of dish soap and a couple of drops of food coloring (be careful food coloring can stain clothes).
* Pour the mixture into the bottle and watch what happens!
Don’t forget to record what happens in your Science Journal.
所需材料︰
一只空水瓶
小蘇打粉
醋
洗碗精
紅色食用色素
一只托盤（大小需足以放置所有東西）
一只杯子（或是有傾倒口的量杯）
一個湯匙
一只漏斗（假如家裡沒有漏斗，你可以用鋁箔包住厚紙板來自己做一個，或是用量杯來添加材料）
沙子或塑形用黏土（非必要）
亮片（非必要）
舊報紙
* 在工作檯面鋪一張舊報紙。
* 把托盤放在報紙上。將一只空瓶子放在托盤中央，並把漏斗架在瓶子上。
* 用湯匙將小蘇打粉加入瓶內，數量要足以覆蓋整個瓶底。假如你有亮片，也可以在這時加進來。
* 假如你有沙子或黏土，將它們包住瓶子四周（約瓶高的四分之三），讓瓶子看起來宛如火山或高山。
* 在杯子或量杯中放入四分之一杯的醋、兩大滴洗碗精，與幾滴紅色色素（小心別讓色素弄髒衣服）。
* 把這些東西倒入瓶內，看看會發生什麼事！
別忘了將實驗結果紀錄在《科學日誌》喔。

Microsoft on Feb. 28 announced it was retiring Skype, the online voice and video call pioneer that the tech titan acquired in 2011. “Starting in May 2025, Skype will no longer be available,” said a post from Skype support on X, directing users to sign into Microsoft’s Teams platform for further use of its services. Skype was founded in 2003 by Scandinavians Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis in Estonia, revolutionizing Internet communication by offering free voice calls between computers and affordable rates for calls to landlines and mobile phones. Over the years, and as Internet speeds improved, Skype evolved to
Donburi, often simply called don, is a beloved Japanese dish that consists of a bowl of steamed rice topped with various other ingredients. The word donburi itself actually means “bowl” in Japanese, but it has come to represent much more than just a vessel. Donburi first emerged during the Edo period (1603–1867) as a quick and convenient meal for busy city dwellers. By the 19th century, donburi had become immensely popular among theater enthusiasts, who often purchased these portable meals to enjoy during long performances. Una-don, a donburi topped with grilled eel, was a particular favorite. Easy-to-carry and satisfying,

Researchers also discovered that students who walked farther reported feeling happier during the wait. __3__ Idleness aversion can be applied in various settings. For example, Uber uses animations and real-time updates to keep customers from being bored while waiting. It can also be used in the design of office buildings to reduce elevator traffic. During busy times, it takes a while to wait for an elevator. __4__ Recognizing the power
