I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment! In the quiet of the night kitchen, you hear that low “buzz” coming from the refrigerator. I bet everyone has wondered about that sound at some point. On hot summer days when I was little, I used to lie down on the floor near […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. How can cats leap from such incredible heights and land so gracefully? It’s almost as if gravity doesn’t affect them. The BBC in the UK investigated this secret using a super slow-motion camera. What they revealed was a surprising “physics” that is completely different from […]

Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Air is invisible, yet it’s always pushing us with surprising strength. What do you think would happen if you trapped that air and squeezed it even tighter? Today, we’re going to dive into the mysterious relationship between air’s “force (pressure)” and its “size (volume)” with an […]

Ken Kuwako, Science Trainer here. Every day is an experiment. Can you imagine a fluffy marshmallow puffing up like a balloon or shriveling down like a raisin? Recently, I stumbled upon my students doing exactly that in an elective class—a fascinating experiment! I couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s cool!” and record the action. The experiment […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment. That moment when participants’ eyes light up with a “Wow!” or “I get it!”—that’s the greatest thrill of hosting a science workshop. But that moment of “magic” can turn into a “nightmare” in an instant. This usually happens because of a simple preparation slip-up, […]
