22nd September 2013 Jamal's 10th birthday Jamal was turning 10. For me this was a huge milestone party... my first child reaching double figures:) We decided since he loved making things and experimenting we would design a Mad Scientist Party. There was a children's market coming up in the holidays so we saved up and went to the market knowing we would find lots of experimental kits. We came home with a car full of things and its didn't cost much at all. I ordered off the internet some Test Tubes, Beakers and Petri Dishes from a science shop. A lovely lady we know gave us lab coats, protective footwear and lots of gloves. Invitation Guests arriving Jamal's best friends came to the party. They loved being greeted by Jamal and being given lab coats, protective footwear, safety glasses and personalised name tags. Name Badges, I didn't add actual photos as they had the kids last names on them. We used the periodic table to personalise and make each name tag different from each other. A great learning tool. Each name tag was pinned to their lab coat. Then the Fun begins.... lots of Experiments! First we started by making Lava Cups. These were great and actually worked :) They reminded me of the old Lava lamps you used to buy. We had so much fun making Elephant Toothpaste. While the rain stopped for a brief moment we made the most of some experiments outside. First Mentos and Coke Geysers then we made some Smoke Drums A short video clip of two of the Mentos and Coke Geysers going off :) Smoke Drums Smoke Drums were made with regular garden buckets. I cut out a hole in the bottom and covered the top with shower caps. The experiment I found on the internet used a shower curtain but shower caps fitted perfectly and were only $1.00 for three. The buckets were filled with smoke from our smoke machine. When the kids tapped the shower cap rings of smoke came out. The smoke was strong enough to knock paper cups of the table. So much fun they were lining up for more smoke :) Another indoor experiment with Dry Ice. The place we got local ice from wasn't open in the weekends. We brought 5kg (thankfully they gave us a lot extra). When we got home Friday night it weighed just over 8kg, by Saturday night we had lost over 3kg. We were very lucky to have lots left for fun on Sunday at the party. The kids made exploding gloves. They put a few pieces of dry ice in a glove and knotted it, put it in a warm bowl of water. After a few mintues the glove had expanded and was huge, after a few minutes there was a huge bang! They also put dry ice in a bowl, rubbed dish liquid around the edge of the bowl and pulled a small rag over the bowl, huge dry ice bubbles formed. Potato and Lemon Clocks Next was Potato and Lemon clocks. We split into two teams and one made a clock out of Potatoes and one out of Lemons. Both clocks were a working success. Lastly Tornado in a bottle using a tornado tube, two empty bottles, water, dish liquid and some food colouring Food I love planning party food using a theme. We had green slime cupcakes, Popping candy in test tubes, Pizza Particles, Molecule Cookies, Atoms (Chocolate Lollies), Radio Active Jelly in Petri Dishes, Bacteria bites (Mini Savouries), Laboratory Mice, Brains and lots more. We used dry ice in the drinks and in beakers and test tubes to give off a real science feeling. The kids especially loved the dry ice :) Delicious Mad Scientist Cake A few extra family photos Brothers - Leroy & Austin Birthday Boy - Jamal Jamal and Dad Jamal and Mum Little scientist sister Willow Loot Bags This year we found bubbles shaped like science bottles. You mix the colours together to make different colours. Also make your own snow, magic growing trees, pens, chocolates, sherbet and Popping candy Thank you so much to Jamal's friends Finn, Roan, Kian, Samantha and brothers and sister Leroy, Austin and Willow for sharing in his special day. He had a wonderful 10th birthday :)
A science party has been on our list of must do parties for a long time so when my daughter turned nine it seemed like the perfect age for some crazy experiments, mad food and high jinx. Click through for more details

It all started with the idea for a science party. My son loves to learn new things and what boy doesn't like to watch something erupt? We found some wonderful invitations on Etsy by Carli of Dimpleprints. She will put all of your information in to a file and email it to you so that you may print it at home, or at a print shop if you prefer. Fantastic for me to get them out to all of my son's friends at the last possible minute! (What can I say, it's the end of summer and school started on my son's birthday! I was a bit overwhelmed to say the least! :) I did a search for science experiments and came up with the Steve Spangler website. A great resource for experiments, and inexpensive ingredients. We purchased instant snow, glow in the dark powder, a geyser tube and magic sand. I had my husband bend a regular round cookie cutter into an erlenmyer flask shape and made cookies. I added pearls for bubbles and sprayed the cookies with pearlized spray. I found beakers and erlenmeyer flasks at Scientific Equipment of Houston. We filled the small beakers and flasks with water and food coloring. I found plastic petri dishes at Steve Spangler Science. We filled them with Jello and put the sprinkles in to make it look like bacteria growing in medium. We found a local store that carries dry ice. I filled the large beakers and cylindrical vases (found at Michaels craft store.) I filled the vases with Aqua Gems. They come as small spheres that swell up when water is added. I also purchased water proof lights and put them in with the beads. Since the vases were glass, I put plastic containers in the top of the vase with water to drop the dry ice in. (Dry ice can shatter glass.) It looked so cool, especially outside on the table at night. You must be careful that the kids can not touch the dry ice as it can burn their skin. The kids enjoyed making "tornados" out of two liter bottles and a coupler from Steve Spangler Science. I think this was the favorite experiment of the night - Slime! We made it with white school glue, water, food coloring and borax. We also added some glow in the dark powder for fun. It was a hot night, so instead of cake we had Rita's italian ice with sparkler candles. It was the perfect treat to cool off with. (And allergen free for our friends with nut, egg and dairy allergies!) We also served Izze Sparling Juice for the kids. It's made with juice and carbonation so a bit less sugar. It went over big, since the kids thought they were getting away with tons of soda! Carli of Dimpleprints created the design for the favor tags. I made them into stickers too and used them on the tops of our slime containers. On Escapade Direct's site, I found plastic test tube and rubber stoppers. I filled these with the snow, sand and gel beads and put them in clear bags for party favors. (Along with some great magnets I found at 5 below, Pop Rocks and the erlenmyer flask cookies We also sent pictures from the party to Dimpleprints for our Thank you notes. They turned out great, and Cole wrote his notes on the reverse side.

Break out the lab coats and beakers! We've got a bunch of great ideas for throwing a science birthday party for your little mad scientist!
Steve Spangler Science provided some materials for the party at my request. As always, opinions are 100% mine! I was beyond excited (and surprised) when this year, Isabella asked for a Science Party, rather than the typical Princess party. After all, she does want to be a scientist when she grows up. Of course I said yes and went crazy in the planning. It all looks very involved but really, it was an easy party and definitely less expensive than hosting outside of the home. And before I get started on telling you about all our mad scientist party ideas,
