Abstract

In this study, we propose science communication through Kodomo-kai Children's community activities. The answers are provided by 113 of 211 'Youth Ambitious Squares', which are Kodomo-kai Children's community activities registered in Fukuoka prefecture. 26% of them held science activities. The staff try to meet the demands that children request as many science experiment activities as possible. They have some difficulties, however, the staff have no confidence in carrying out science activities, and they want guidance from experts. On the other hand, the Kodomo-kai which could not carry out science activities said that they do not have enough time or human resources for planning science activities. They did perceive problem areas about science such as ferminology, calculation, requiring effort. We assisted Kodomo-kai Children's community activities in holding science activities for both types of Kodomo-kai. We discuss their difficulties to get solutions, and plan activities to make manuals dealing with their difficulties.
