M/E & English Version


This series aims to encourage young people to find things out for themselves in the spirit of 'giving it a try', and to show that so many experiments can be fun.

Every program features watch-and-see experiments unique to that episode's Master of Experiments, as well as experiments that will encourage everyone to have a try. In these experiments we use everyday items to delve into science.

Experiments often involve failure. Not even the Masters of Experiments are exceptions to this. In the programs, we show their experiments in full even if they do not entirely succeed, because we think it more important to nurture the process of experiment than it is to get the "right" result.
