I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. Do you ever feel that “zap!” of static electricity when you touch a doorknob in the winter? That little jolt running through your fingertip is a familiar phenomenon that often happens when the air is dry. The truth is, that “zap!” is the work […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer, and for me, every day is an experiment! Why is the jam on your toast so deliciously gooey? 🍓 We just boil down fruit and sugar, so how does that signature “jelly-like” texture appear? The truth is, there’s a magical “scientific trick” hidden inside the fruit itself. This time, […]
