|Length : 10min. X8 |Year : 2021

(5th How can you make motors spin?)
In this episode, children make predictions on how they can make motors spin and think about how they can verify their ideas. What should happen if your prediction is correct? Give it a thought!

(5th How does it move forward?)
In this episode, children think about why a toy car is able to move on a rail. The rail is fitted with electromagnets, and the toy car has a magnet on it. Why is it that the car can move froward? And how would it be possible to make it move even further?

(6th What happens when things burn?)
What happens to air when something is burned? The children use a lit candle and limewater to check what happens to each of the main gases that make up the air, namely nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide for clues to hypothesize on. Will the children in this episode be able to gain a reasonable understanding of the phenomenon? Tune in to find out!

(6th Why do fires go out?)
Why do fires go out? The children use limewater and a gas detector to check each of the main gases that make up the air, namely nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide for clues to hypothesize on. Join the children and the Wonder Monsters as they set out to find out more about this scientific wonder!

(6th Where does starch come from? ーPlanning the experimentー)
Starch is the nutrient plants thrive on. To learn where exactly starch can be found in a plant, children look at the root, stem, and leaves of a plant, and discover that starch is actually stored only in large amounts in the leaves. They hypothesize why that is the case, and then come up with ideas for an experiment that would enable them to examine whether their hypothesis is correct. What great ideas will the children come up with? Tune in to find out!

(6th Where does starch come from? ーObservationsー)
Plants thrive on starch. The children conduct an experiment to test out their hypothesis that starch is produced when sunlight shines on the leaves. They then look at the results of the experiment and think further about the phenomenon. Join the children as they put on their thinking caps to come up with great ideas. And will they be able to reach a reasonable understanding of how plants produce starch? Tune in to find out!

(6th The structure of the human body ーIngestion and respirationー)
What happens to the food we eat and the air we breathe after we put them in our bodies? The episode includes footage that will make the viewers think about the bodily functions that allow us to take in nutrients and oxygen, both of which are essential for our survival. Will the children in this episode be able to gain a reasonable understanding of the phenomenon? Tune in to find out!

ふしぎエンドレス 2020年度 [NHK]

|Length : 10min. X6 |Year : 2020

(5th Grade How Do You Make an Electromagnet Stronger?)
When an electric current flows through an electromagnet with a wire wrapped around its iron core, it becomes a magnet. Now, how can we make it stronger? Do we make the iron core bigger? Do we change how we wrap the wire? Do we use a thicker wire? Let’s make predictions and think about how we will conduct the experiments.

(5th Grade Let's Improve the Electromagnet Experiment)
In the previous episode, the children thought about how they can make an electromagnet stronger and conducted experiments. Two groups predicted that “the more times an electromagnet is wrapped with wire, the stronger it gets” and did the same experiment using the exact same materials. However, the two groups saw different results. Why is this? When they do the experiment one more time, this time...

(5th Grade How to Do Researches)
A plastic bottle rocket that flies with the help of water and air. How can we make it fly farther? Do we pump in lots of air? Do we fill it with lots of water? Do we increase the angle of the launch pad? In order to check whether a prediction is correct, we need to experiment. But then, what are the important points we need to be careful about when doing the experiments? When checking how the amount of water affects the power of the rocket, what do we do with the amount of air?

(6th Grade How Does Water Reach the Leaves?)
Does water go up the stem like it does in a straw? Does it soak in like it does in a sponge? To check this, we cut the stem and observe very closely. What can we tell from what we see? We take it a step further and add color to the water to see where the water is passing. What do the schoolchildren say?

(6th Grade Why Does the Moon Change Shape?)
Are there multiple moons? Is it emitting light, or is it changing where it’s emitting light? Is light being shed on it from elsewhere? A crescent moon, a half moon, a full moon... We’ll take a good look at all kinds of moons through a telescope, observe the details, and narrow down the possibilities. What’s the conclusion?

(6th Grade How Does the Moon Change Shape?)
By looking at how the moon changes its shape and location in the sky every day, we predict that the positional relationship the moon has with the sun and earth has something to do with it all. We prepare a light that represents the sun and a ball that represents the moon to visualize the hypothesis. What’s the conclusion that we reach from the experiment?

はなさかじいさん [NHK]

|Length : 10 |Year : 2019

An honest old man takes loving care of a puppy he has found. One day, the puppy begins barking in the corner of a field. Digging where the puppy is barking, the old man finds a great treasure of gold coins. A greedy old man who lives next door sees what happens and drags the puppy to his own field. But when he digs where the puppy barks, he finds nothing but snakes and centipedes. Angered, the greedy old man kills the puppy…
