Explore ocean physics with tools and ingredients that can be found in every kitchen. 24 daily experiments, starting December 1 on Instagram, Twitter, og Facebook! And these aren’t random experiments. Together, they tell a story you can follow each day of Advent.

Some of the experiments require that you have done some preparations the day before. If you need to prepare something for the next day, it will be explained in the red box to the right. Below is a list of all the things you need. Good luck with the experiments!
