I’m Ken Kuwako, your science trainer. Every day is an experiment!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re lying on the grass in a park, enjoying a peaceful picnic. Suddenly, the camera begins to soar high into the sky, pierces through the clouds, exits the atmosphere, and hurtles toward the very edge of the galaxy… all in just a few minutes. Did you know there is a legendary film that lets you experience this mind-bending journey?<\/p>\n

In my class yesterday, I watched a film called Powers of Ten<\/b> with my students. I first encountered this video during a lecture when I was a student at Tokyo Gakugei University. The impact was so profound that I can still remember the exact atmosphere of the classroom that day. Though it was produced in 1977, it remains a masterpiece and a gold standard of science education that hasn’t aged a day. First, please take a look at the video for yourself.<\/p>\n
