Bored?

How about experiments online then:

Here a selection of experiments presented by the Science Center Spectrum in a continuous and touring exhibition...

Experimenting also exists in English, however a bit more playful:

"We want to enable experiments in the absence of gravity. Up there, the air is so thin that objects falling down are virtually weightless. We make use of this fact", Speidel explains. "The experiment is made up of a nacelle that is connected to the balloon via a long cord."

The experiment tries to show that low gravity can be reached at much lower costs than current approaches (such as parabolic flights or drop towers). The project is a feasibility study of the technique that can be used to create a low gravity environment.

If somebody wants to make me a present

The perfect present for robot scientists

Nao is the elf-sized, cutting-edge robot every scientist wants for Christmas. He's the most versatile research robot on the market. Antenna checks out his credentials and finds out how scientists lucky enough to have snapped him up are experimenting in the lab...
