Summary:“Kitchen Earth Science,” which is scientific, educational, and public outreach activities, aims at understanding a natural phenomenon in Earth and planetary sciences by analogue experiments using goods and tools in our daily life. Analogue experiments have a function to reveal the fundamental physics governing the phenomenon. On the other hand, they essentially include uncertainties so that unexpected results are frequently obtained, which have a potential for surprising discoveries. These findings also provide a good opportunity for deeply thinking and raise new questions to explore. Such experiences are precious not only for young researchers, but also non-expert people who need a scientific thinking to live wisely. Here, we introduce our recent activities of “Kitchen Earth Science” and the experimental studies rerated to the multiphase flow in Earth and planetary sciences.
