The science party... the experiments

I got smart. and decided to do the projects a little differently, no stations, just all of us working on a project together, combined effort!

1. Make snow:

We will be working with a polymer called Insta Snow, each kid will get some to do the experiment together as a group. we'll discuss what a polymer is and uses for absorbant polymers (inside baby diapers, cleaning up oil spills, etc)

2. Make Slime:

Each child will get to make some to take home, with play time at the party

3. Make Ice Cream

We will work as a group to make a container of ice cream (by tossing it around together) it takes about 15 minutes so this one is what we'll end with.

Then we'll have our ice cream bar.

Ice cream bar will have home made ice cream and toppings (green slime, nerds candy, etc)

then cake and gifts and if we have time we'll watch some experiments on you tube from Steve Spangler.

Sound good? any ideas? should we plan for a game?

I found your blog through Tip Junkie - I've been looking for Fairy Party ideas for my daughter and your party looks lovely!

Not sure if you've had your Science party yet - I threw one for my 8 year old son & blogged about it here. Hope it gives you some ideas!
