I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. On a dry winter day, the moment you reach for a metal doorknob… ZAP! ⚡ That unpleasant, voice-calling shock is something almost everyone has experienced. What exactly is that tiny spark? And in the Edo period, when its true nature was completely unknown, how […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment. You flip the switch to “On!”, and electricity flows instantly with a “Zap!” A small light bulb lights up immediately. This is what we consider “normal.” But what if there was a “contrarian” component inside the circuit?You might flip the switch to say, “Time to […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment. You probably learned in middle school science that “ammeters must be connected in series, and voltmeters must be connected in parallel.” You may have simply memorized it as “the rule,” but why must it be done that way? Ammeters and voltmeters look nearly identical. Perhaps […]

Ken Kuwako, Your Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment! Hello, budding scientists and curious minds! I’m Ken Kuwako, and today, we’re diving into an experiment that is deceptively simple yet profoundly insightful. It’s the Electrostatic Bell, a fantastic project created by our very own science club students. If you’re wondering, “What exactly is an […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment! Imagine turning a plain iron rod into a magnet just by hitting it with a hammer—wouldn’t you call that magic? I recently gave a lecture in Nagano Prefecture after being invited by the Physical and Chemical Society. 【講演】黒板とタブレットの素敵な出会い 〜ある理科教師が見つけた未来の授業のカタチ〜＠長野 While I was there, I […]
