NGK Corporation (President: Shigeru Kobayashi, Headquarters: Nagoya City) today released the special feature page "Summer Vacation Free Study Special 2026" on the special content section "NGK Science Site" of its official website. This special feature introduces 32 themes that allow participants to experience the fun of science, including experiments and crafts that can be easily done with everyday materials, and making science sweets that are both visually appealing and delicious. It is packed with free study ideas that will captivate both children and adults, carefully selected by our editorial department from approximately 400 experiments and videos on the site.

NGK Science Site (https://site.ngk.co.jp/)

"NGK Science Site" is original content that NGK has planned and produced since 1997 to convey the joy of science to the next generation of children. It contains 402* themes, including experiments and crafts that can be done with everyday materials, and videos that clearly explain scientific principles. It is a popular site that attracts the most access on our company's homepage, with access rates sometimes reaching about 8 times the usual during the summer vacation period (July-August). Every year during this period, we set up a special feature page titled "Summer Vacation Free Study Special" to introduce recommended themes carefully selected by our editorial department.

<Theme Introduction>

Easy Experiments You Can Do in 30 Minutes

From the "Try and Wonder (https://site.ngk.co.jp/try/)" series, we have gathered experiments and observations that can be completed in a short time using everyday materials, focusing on familiar phenomena such as water, air, and light. They allow for intuitive understanding of scientific mechanisms and are ideal for free study topics.

Colorful and Beautiful! Science Sweets

From the "Delicious Wonder (https://site.ngk.co.jp/delicious/)" series, we have picked out colorful and beautiful science sweets perfect for summer vacation. Through experiments that are fun to look at and delicious to eat, this popular content allows you to feel science up close. You can learn about scientific phenomena such as crystallization and freezing point depression while experiencing changes in color and shape.

Fly! Move! Challenge Crafts

From the "Try and Wonder (https://site.ngk.co.jp/try/)" series, we offer crafts that allow you to learn about the principles of motion and force experientially. By making them with household materials and making them move yourself, you can deepen your understanding of science through play. You can confirm the differences in results by adjusting the movement yourself after making it.

Understanding the Mechanisms of Beauty and Expression Through Science

From the "Mysterious TV (https://site.ngk.co.jp/tv/)" and "120 Seconds of Science (https://site.ngk.co.jp/120s/)" series, we explore the "reasons for beauty" in everyday life by interpreting differences in familiar perceptions and feelings, such as color and shape, from a scientific perspective. We also introduce themes where science and culture intersect, such as the secret of "blue" used in the works of Vermeer and Hokusai.
