As part of the Experimental and Professional Physics\/Astrophysics Module (PH32006\/32016), since 2019 we have been running a science fair at the Mills Observatory in Dundee “Physics at the Mills”<\/span><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to come back to Mills Observatory in 2020, but then we had to go in lock-down. Since the students had produced really great materials, “Physics at the Mills 2020”<\/strong> is now going on line, together with the “Physics on the Web 2021”<\/strong> and “Physics on the Web 2022”<\/strong>. We have been back at Mills Observatory since March 2023! And beating all the previous audience records in March 2024, and going on to the 7th edition of the fair in 2025. If you are interested, we’ll be back around March 2026!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be back at the Mills Observatory on March 21st! Stay tuned for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physics at the Mills Observatory 2025<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In March 2025, we celebrated our 7th Physics Students’ Science Fair<\/strong>, as usual, packed with many new games and experiments: we played with time and space, with light and sounds, we followed stars to their end, and tried to make objects follow our magnets. Going on to the 7th edition of the fair is a big feat, which will not be feasible without the collaboration of the Level 3 Physics\/Physics with Astrophysics\/Math & Physics Students from the University of Dundee. Click on the poster below to see some of the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physics at the Mills Observatory 2024<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In March 2024, we beat all the attendance records, with over 150 people<\/strong> in an event packed with fun activities on Mars exploration and rocket science, light and lasers, making bubbles, and using rainbows to understand what the universe is made of. Click on the image below to see the activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physics at the Mills Observatory 2023<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Physics Students Science Fair went back to in-person at the Mills Observatory, on Saturday March 25th, 2023, from 12:30 to 15:00. The event is children- and family-focused, free and open to all. Join us to learn about standing waves, lasers, light, gravity, and what makes things solid or liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physics at the Mills 2021: Physics on the Web<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n

Since we knew we would not be able to meet face-to-face, our “Physics at the Mills 2021” was created as an online science fair from start. Click the image below to access all the wonderful activities and videos!<\/p>\n\n\n

Is Star Wars possible according to Physics? How can we map the Universe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how it all started, back in 2019 and live at Mills observatory. This is the advertisement poster created by the students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
