I’m loving the trend of Mad Scientist parties. They work for a boy or a girl, the experiments are cool (plus they’re a built-in party activity), and they celebrate the geek in all of us. Check out these party photos from our main site…
Shelley K’s Mad Scientist Birthday Party
Experiments:
- Soda explosions using Mentos we called volcano eruptions
- Invisible ink using lemon juice and a blow dryer or candle flame
- Instant snow
- Flubber
- We also used film canisters and made the tops blow off and called them rocket canisters




Christine K’s Caitlyn’s Mad Science Birthday Party
Experiments:
- Blow up balloons with baking soda and vinegar
- Instant snow
- Creating a vortex using 2 plastic soda bottles connected with a tornado tube
- Diet Coke and Mentos geysers
- We hired a “Mad Scientist” but I recommend just getting Steve Spangler’s Ultimate Science Party kit or buying the experiments individually and doing them yourself


Judy S’s Mad Science Birthday
Experiments:
- Bubbling potions with beakers and flasks
- Dry ice to see how different metals reacted with it
- The kids got to take home a pet tornado which they thought was super cool!




Katie K’s Mad Science 10th Birthday Blast
Experiments:
- Slime
- Instant snow
- Color changing milk
- Lava lamps
- Elephant toothpaste
- Also had a microscope with different slides of cool stuff for the kids to look at, a tornado tube, science books, and beakers with dry ice




If you throw a Mad Science party, we’d love to show it off, so please add it to our main site!
