Hi, I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment! The gold-leaf electroscope experiment is a great way to visualize the invisible movements of electricity, but it’s not always easy to wrap your head around, is it? Static electricity is something we’ve all experienced—the crackle when you take off a sweater in elementary […]

Hi, I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer. Every day is an experiment! 【The Magic of Chemistry!】Get that “Red Glow” with a Copper Oxide Reduction Experiment When teaching “metal refining” in middle school science, one of the most engaging experiments is the reduction of copper oxide. The visual impact of “a red metal appearing from a […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer, and for me, every day is an experiment. Do you remember that classic science experiment about water pressure? The one where you poke a few holes in a plastic bottle to see how the water flows out? We filmed that very experiment to show you what happens. We prepared […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a science trainer, and for me, every day is an experiment.
