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!
