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. […]
