"Summer Vacation Children's Environmental Science Class 2023" was held.

The Institute for Environmental Science held "Summer Vacation Children's Environmental Science Class 2023" for 4th to 6th graders. At a workshop on the theme of experiments on microplastics, color, and dissection of spills, they had various experiences related to the environment through experiments and observations.

• Date of implementation: August 18, 2023
• Implementation site: Yokohama Institute of Environmental Science (5th floor, Shibusawa ABC Building No. 1, Ebisu-cho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama-shi)
• Number of participants: 77 children (69 parents, etc.)

For each program, we will introduce the experimental notes and the state of the day.

We searched for microplastics in the sand and created a recycling work "Shaka Shaka" using the found microplastics.

・I was surprised because there was a lot of plastic in the suna.
・I didn't know that there were many kinds of things with microplastics.

In the morning, we conducted an experiment to separate the color of aqueous pen with paper and water. In the afternoon, we saw a substance that was rubbed and filtered by plants and fluorescent.

・It was fun to know chemistry. I would like to participate again.
・I knew in detail about the pen of color.

I enjoyed learning about the fish body by dissecting the dragonfly.

・I'm glad I could do it because I didn't have the opportunity to do it.
・It was difficult, but it was fun to support me.

・It was very fun to make a windmill.
・Let's make a spider! It was fun.

・I enjoyed the quiz.
・I was surprised that the quiz rally was playing.

・I was thrilled to see a lot of analytical equipment that I couldn't usually see.
・I'm very happy to have an event that parents and children can learn and enjoy like this time.

Thank you very much to everyone who responded to the questionnaire. I will use it as a reference in the future.
