About UiS Christmas Calendar 2021:
The Joule calendar is made by Inge Christ, head of The School Laboratory of Science at UiS, and UiS professor Magne Sydnes. For the seventh year in a row, they make a Christmas calendar with chemistry and physics experiments, popular amongst both young and old. This year there is so much energy in circulation that the Christmas calendar was renamed " The Joule calendar". Joule" is one of several units for measuring energy and is pronounced “jul” in Norwegian. With “jul” being the Norwegian word for Christmas, “joule calendar” makes up a fun pun!
This year’s calendar includes a mixture of experiments that can be done at home without the risk of blowing up the house as well as experiments that should only be performed in a lab while taking the necessary precaution.
