Amber in SJ Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 My son just went to a fun science party. The invite was a picture of Einstein with the birthday boy's face photoshopped in. The party favor was safety goggles and a container of the borax slime they made. I would take a look at the candy experiments website: http://www.candyexperiments.com/ amber in SJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in NY Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I know this is not exactly what you are asking, but the evening was so memorable I thought I'd share.... One night my sister-in-law set up a private night at a local planetarium. It was awesome --- the gentleman that runs the place gave us a private star show in the dome and then we went outside to their 12" scope. He was so knowledgeable, stayed with us for hours, and we looked at everything in the night sky. Do you have a local astronomy club? They may be happy to host a private party. And if you're in Western NY I know where you can find one.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 These are great ideas, thank you! That planetarium show sounds awesome, I'll have to keep that in mind for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyandbob Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 In addition to the experiments, I set up an observation area. I had a microscope with samples to view, an abandoned bird's nest, some rocks and shells, and "brain". The brain was made in a jello mold. I forget the flavor of jello, but I added milk in place of some water to get the color to look right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 What? No Mentos/Diet Coke rockets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You must have dry ice, too! My kiddos loved it when my friend brought dry ice over this summer. If you pour a little dish soap in some water and add the dry ice, it will make bubbles that pop and release the "steam". Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigs Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 For the refreshments, how about science cookie cutters? Gingerbread cutter cookie / stamp to make skeletons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
