Discover the Power of Physics!
We’re excited to invite primary school pupils from 4th to 6th class to take part in the SOPHia Physics Project Competition 2027! This free competition is all about getting curious, asking questions and discovering the physics behind the world around us.
From space and the weather to electricity, sound, light and forces, there’s so much to explore!
Pupils are invited to choose a physics question, investigate it and present what they’ve discovered in a project poster. Projects can be completed individually or in groups.
