Physics in Advent

Under the motto "still 24 experiments until Christmas" 24 entertaining physics experiments are offered to do yourself.

Physics in Advent (PiA) is designed for pupils in the school years five to ten, i.e. aged 11 to 18 years, respectively. After the experiences of the previous years, parents, teachers, students or simply those interested in physical phenomena also have great pleasure in it. This year, adults in companies, departments and circles of friends are once again invited to join in as a team and puzzle. From 1 to 24 December, everyone can watch a video clip of a simple experiment every day on the PiA homepage, which can easily be repeated at home. The videos are available in German and English, as well as with French, Italian and Ukrainian subtitles. Afterwards one can try to answer the questions fot the experiment. The next day there is the solution - again as video clip. In the end, the results will be evaluated: individually, for a class group or even for entire schools. The best participants, classes or schools receive prizes.

In addition, SPS promotes special prizes for school teams and for individual pupils who are enrolled in Swiss-based schools. These Swiss prizes are sponsored by the SPS, the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT), as well as by supermagnete.ch and the Metrohm Foundation.
