You call it playing, we call it doing experiments.

With “PiA – Physics in advent”, we’ve created a special and unique kind of advent calendar: a physical advent calendar. We introduce young scientists, and everyone who has fun with it, to 24 simple and yet ingenious experiments and physics puzzles. They will arouse interest in doing experiments for yourself and ignite excitement within any observer.

From 1st to 24th December 2015, we present a little experiment as video clip every day. You can do the experiment yourself at home and answer the question on our web page throughout the day before seeing the solution video the next day. Hints to help teams will be posted on the PiA homepage at 5am CET ( 4am UTC) each day and entries have to be submitted by 11pm CET (10pm UTC).

Students in S1-S6 are eligible to compete and entrants can be individuals, classes or entire schools. In addition to fun experiments you can also win prizes. We draw prizes among the best participants in the individual categories and among the best school classes and schools.

Every participating individual or team receives a certificate with their achievements for download and print-out.

Participation in “PiA – Physics in Advent” is free.
