I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. A great tool for class! The “XXY OSCILLOSCOPE” web app makes showing waves fun When you’re teaching about the nature of sound or the properties of waves in a middle school science class, it can be hard for students to really grasp the concepts. […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. Have you ever heard the term “thermite reaction“? It’s a very dramatic chemical reaction where a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum powder is ignited, producing intense heat and light as iron is formed. This experiment, which feels like a close-up of fireworks and […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. This article is also available as a podcast! Have you ever seen the formula “F = ma”? It’s the equation of motion, one of the most famous formulas in high school physics. We use the word “force” every day, but what exactly is it? […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. When you think of summer, you think of fireworks. While beautiful fireworks lighting up the night sky are great, this time we’d like to introduce a unique type of firework that seems to wriggle and grow as if it were alive. It’s called a […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment. In your middle school science or high school physics classes, do you ever find yourself struggling with how to make abstract concepts like the “laws of force” or “conservation of momentum” more engaging and intuitive for students? The phenomena that can be replicated in […]
