Science Experiment Birthday Party

A Science Experiment Birthday Party for a 9 year old boy with numerous experiments sounds like a blast! Teresa of Tiara & Tantrums planned this super science party for her son. This image is of various colors of crystal soil or orbeez. I love visiting the Dollar Store throughout the year checking to see what might be in stock for upcoming birthday themes.

Teresa says, "Once the boys arrived, they had to walk through the plastic curtains (my husband simply hung these with an old shower rod) to decontaminate and enter the lab. I had green balloons suspended from the ceiling and shapes of various beakers hanging as well.



 Each boy had a place at the Experimental Station table and a list of science experiments that we would all be performing. In the middle of the table were all the supplies needed to conduct the experiments.  A beaker set would not only serve as great science decor but could be used in science experiments.





First up was Color Symphony then on to Instant Snow. Color Symphony experiment was simply milk, food coloring and dish soap. Watch the reaction. Instant Snow was just that, Instant Snow! Very fun to play with! 



Next up was Super Slime, which was a lot of fun and caused many laughs. I ordered the slime and had each cup measured out sitting on trays waiting to be carried in to the "Lab". I used small plastic cups purchased at the local grocery store. Instant Worms was the next experiment and this was as enjoyable as the previous. I think anything boys can squeeze and be grossed out about is a hit.



 The last experiment was conducted OUTSIDE! Mentos Diet Coke Geyser!"
