There are no tricks, only treats, when you add science to your annual pumpkin-carving festivities. That’s why we at Symmetry created designs featuring spooky versions of important figures from the history of physics to adorn your Halloween gourds.
To make a physics jack-o’-lantern:
- Pick out a pumpkin and one of our five designs.
- Using printer settings, resize the design template to fit on your pumpkin.
- Print it out.
- Cut out the shaded sections from the print-out.
- Trace the cut out sections of the print-out onto your gourd.
- Carve.
Alternatively, you can use a ballpoint pen to poke through the paper along the outline of the template. Connect the dots on your pumpkin to mark where to carve.

It’s alive! It’s alive! It’s reciting the general theory of relativity!

Mummy Noether
Emmy Noether’s theorems underpin all of modern physics; that’s something we just can’t keep under wraps.

Scary Curie
Marie Curie won Nobel Prizes in not one but two fields (chemistry and physics). Now that’s scary smart.

Werewolfgang Pauli
Theories like Wolfgang Pauli’s exclusion principle—which affirms that two identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state at the same time—come along only once in a blue moon.
