I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every Day is an Experiment! You’ve heard the word “fault” in earthquake news. But it’s difficult to truly grasp the movement of that enormous energy happening beneath the ground just by looking at a single illustration in a textbook, isn’t it? I was convinced: “If students could experience this […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. How many “motors” do you think are around you? Fans, washing machines, smartphone vibrations, even train wheels… Our lives are overflowing with the power to “rotate” things. But if someone asks you, “Why does electricity make things spin?” it can be a tricky question, […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. “Light travels in a straight line.” The sun’s light and a flashlight beam certainly look like they do, right? But what if you could easily see the “proof that light is a wave” using only items you have at home? Wouldn’t that be astonishing? […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment! Return to Special Page Doable with a Dime-Store Toy! The Longitudinal Wave Science Experiment that Captivates Students “You can hear sound, but have you ever seen what it actually looks like?” “We hear about ‘P-waves’ in earthquake news. They say it’s the small tremor […]

I’m Ken Kuwako, a Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment. What if the ground you’re standing on suddenly turned into a wobbly, pudding-like liquid? This is ‘Liquefaction,’ a phenomenon you hear about in earthquake news. The idea of the ground turning into a liquid sounds like something out of an sci-fi movie, but it’s […]
