I’m Ken Kuwako, the science trainer. Every day is an experiment. The internal structure of plants, especially their stems and roots, is often invisible to the naked eye. Because of this, it’s hard for students to even wonder, “Why is it built this way?” But this “stem cross-section observation” goes beyond just memorizing textbook knowledge. […]

A Simple Experiment for the Classroom and Home When discussing topics like “the speed of chemical reactions” or “nerve impulse transmission” in class, students often ask simple questions like, “How do you actually measure that speed?” or “Is […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Did you know you can calculate the speed of Splash Mountain using physics? This article is also available on our radio show! If I were to ask, “Who has ridden Splash Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland?”, almost everyone in the classroom would raise their hand. […]

Simply put, it’s about “supplementing the foundational academic skills needed for university studies.” A lot of students in nursing programs, in particular, struggle with physics, so […]

Have you started high school and are already scratching your head over the basic science courses? Physics, especially, can be a major headache. You’re told, “Draw the forces!” but they’re invisible, so how can you even begin? Many people feel lost. Even if your teacher tells you, “First draw the force of gravity, and then […]
