Marshall's Mad Science lab

This year was a birthday party year for Alex and he decided to have a science-themed birthday party.  I had a lot of fun planning and shopping for the party.  Thank goodness for pinterest.  I found lots of great ideas and science experiments.

Here is our entrance into the lab.  Don't forget to scan your hand for entrance!



Once inside, they had to determine what their mad scientist name was.  We had names like Dr. Alex Marvin Chunks and Dr. Kaden Giggle Farkle.  The boys thought it was pretty funny!


Then they had to pick up the Science notebook.  These had all the experiments in them and they would have to write down or draw what happened during each experiment.


Safety first!  Don't forget your goggles!


These were the party favors.  Inside had a test tube full of m&m's, pop rocks, sour gummy worms, and other trinkets.


What science lab is complete without bubbling liquid?


Ready to go with the first experiment.  Color changing milk:  milk, food coloring, and dish soap... so cool!


We also did the disappearing penny, Ivory soap explosion, elephant toothpaste, Marshmallow masher,  Floating m's, Exploding sandwich bag, and our favorite.... Soda pop explosion.


Then, of course, it was time to open presents!


We had a great day in the Marshall Mad Science Lab!

Looks like a fun party. I have considered doing this theme for one of my boys too. Thanks for some fun ideas.

That was a very fun party! I was sad we had to cut out early, I was loving the science experiments and the boys reactions!
