Warning:This is going to be an extra large post. I gave my nephew a "Science Party" for his 11th birthday. After hours of research, it came out amazing! I hope this posting will help anyone plan a "cool" party for boys or girls (including adults!)
Welcome to "Trevor's Mad Lab"...you do need to be organized, I recommend the dollar store for the tinfoil tins and other goodies
the dining room area was the "Lab Cafeteria", I found sticky skulls after Halloween and put them on water bottles
This was our "Sugar Molecules" or sweet table. the cake was from the
Family Fun site, 2 bundt cakes with a glass flower vase in the middle. When we sang Happy Birthday, I added water and dry ice to the vase for a smoking beaker cake.
Most of the candies and sweets were found after Halloween on sale!
In our family room, I took down all photos from the shelves and hung reusable hooks and displayed the "lab coats" and goggles.
Goggles were bought from Stevespangler.com
Lab coats were extra large t-shirts cut down the middle with name tags.
The Mad Scientist names were: Dr. Strangelove, Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Hyde, Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Einstein. Dr. Evil, Dr. Doofenshmirtz.....have fun with this!
This was a great touch...I hung in all the doorways a clear garbage bag shredded to divide the "Lab"
the Lab decorations were ball jars with dye and dollar store bugs, etc.
Note the "Haz Mat" red bags, I asked my doctor for the bags!
Halloween skull came in handy!
Halloween Stickers were perfect for this party!
First experiment:
Screaming Balloons
We made
Lava Lamps
Insta Snow was amazing and a huge hit! (Ordered this)
Atomic Slime another hit!
Now it was
glow stick science.
Next came
"Dry Ice Fun"
This was great.
Dry Ice Bubbles
Time for explosions...
A must do...
Alka Seltzer rockets! (had to order the film canisters!)
Last, but not least, diet coke and Mentos!
I recommend ordering the
Mento Geyser packs from Stevespangler.com
Time for the
Cake....just add dry ice! a smoking cake....
Happy Birthday Trevor!
