Clever Beaker! This time, he's captured the entire science lab in a dictionary!
Experimental tools, chemicals, units, and even scientific concepts
Those words that confused me every time I was in science class,
With over 400 key terms hidden in the science lab
End science!

The Uetani couple, authors of the "Beaker-kun" series, which has been consistently loved by everyone from teenagers to parents and teachers, have returned with a new book.
This book focuses on the "science lab," the perfect place to study science, and explores over 400 scientific terms found in the lab.

The science lab is a special classroom where you can have hands-on experience through experiments and observations.
However, it can be a difficult space to approach due to unfamiliar experimental tools, human anatomical models, chemicals, etc.
The authors of this book, Mr. and Mrs. Uetani, compiled a dictionary of terms that can be used in a science lab, one by one, in the authors' cheerful and friendly drawing style, in order to make the science lab a more familiar and interesting space.


Knowing the terms makes science easier.
But this book goes beyond simply listing terms.
It carefully organizes concepts and interesting experimental methods that are often encountered but easily confused when studying science so that they can be visually understood.
Each term is linked to other related terms, allowing you to follow the flow of scientific thought naturally.
Additionally, the interesting stories in comic format and witty science columns allow readers to view science from a broader perspective and bring out the true fun of science.

When science labs are fun, science naturally becomes fun.
If you sort through what you know and don't know in the science lab with Beaker Gun and learn its meaning and significance, the science lab will become a treasure island where you can discover new facts and have fun.
Accuracy and professionalism were enhanced through the review of a chemistry teacher with long-term experience in the educational field.

From chemistry, physics, earth science, and life science
When science labs are fun, science becomes fun.

What's in a science lab? Beginning with a diagram that provides a quick overview of the lab, this book meticulously details the preparation and hands-on process for experiments and observations, everything that happens in the lab, and even precautions to take. It covers everything anyone interested in science needs to know, from the lab itself.

In particular, through terminology exploration, there are many interesting experiments that can be done directly in various scientific fields such as chemistry, physics, earth science, and life science, such as making ice cream, ammonia fountain experiments, experiments creating geological layers, and creating clouds.
In relation to various experiments, not only the major scientific theories that appear in textbooks, such as the law of action and reaction, the law of inertia, and the law of conservation of mass, but also the experimental equipment, chemical substances, units, various phenomena that appear during experiments, and even the principles and laws of science are broadly explained with illustrations.

The program captures the real-world spaces where science is encountered at school, including a science preparation room where teachers store and prepare experimental equipment and chemicals, a corner displaying past experimental tools and stuffed animals, a bulletin board with student work and posters, and even a space outside the school where plants are grown for observation, all of which stimulate interest in studying science.


Why 'science lab term'?
The exciting world of science unfolds in the science lab!
Increase your vocabulary and solidify your scientific knowledge!
A friendly science study partner for teenagers

What does the "science lab terminology" mentioned in the title of this book mean? "Science lab terminology" refers to both the terms used in science labs and the terms associated with them.
For elementary and middle school students, science lab terminology goes beyond simple memorization and enables a deeper understanding of experimental processes and scientific concepts.
Terms frequently used in science labs are useful for learning and verifying abstract concepts concretely through experiments.
In addition, since accuracy in experimental procedures and equipment use is important in the science lab, accurately understanding terminology on site helps prevent safety accidents by using experimental tools correctly.

During the experiment, students use scientific terminology to record procedures and analyze results, thereby developing scientific thinking and inquiry skills.
Additionally, you will develop your communication and expressive skills by gaining experience using accurate terminology when presenting or discussing experimental results.
For students interested in science-related careers, such as medicine, life sciences, and chemical engineering, the scientific terminology learned in the laboratory will become the basic language of the field and have a positive impact on their career exploration and preparation process.
This book will be a practical guide and resource for both beginners and learners of science, guiding readers into the exciting world of science that begins in the science lab.
The moment you learn unfamiliar terms, the science lab becomes an exciting place of exploration rather than a boring classroom, broadening not only your understanding of science but also your perspective on the world.
As the reviewer said, this book will provide a spark of new curiosity to anyone who is just beginning to learn.
