"J-PARC Outreach Lecture" held in January 2026
◆◇◆Yokoshibahikari Town Community Center, Sambu District, Chiba Prefecture (Saturday, January 17, 2026) ◆◇◆
As part of the Parent and Child Challenge Seminar "Enjoyable Science Experiment Class," an experimental workshop was held with the theme of "Dissection of Dried Sardines" for lower-grade elementary school students and "Let's Observe Snow Crystals" for upper-grade students.
The class was conducted by Dr. SHIBAZAKI Chie of the MLF Outreach Circle "Protons" (Technology Development Section).
On the day of the event, participants observed dissected dried sardines and ice crystals carefully using magnifying glasses, under the slogan, "The first step in research is to observe closely with your own eyes."
Many impressions and questions were shared by the participants, such as: "I observed dried sardines and now I would like to observe more living things around me," "I was surprised that the brain and heart are only about 5 millimeters in size," "What is the function of fish gills?" and "Does the shape of ice crystals change depending on how they are cooled? I would like to learn more about why water expands when it freezes."
Through these activities, the class successfully encouraged participants' interest in science.
