Description

Science birthday parties have never been so much fun! Book a scientist for hands-on entertainment and learning. Why just serve ice cream when we can come and make it right there for you?

The birthday child receives a gift of a one year membership to the Double Helix Science Club. If the child is already a member, an alternative science related gift will be arranged.

The presenter will choose activities appropriate to the age group and venue. The series of hands-on activities allow children to:

• watch ice cream be made instantly using liquid nitrogen (tasting involved!)
• use air pressure to launch powerful water rockets metres into the sky
• make and take home their own container of slime
• produce the biggest best bubbles ever using our special giant bubble makers
• create a chemical reaction to launch film canister rockets
• make sherbet and experience a chemical reaction occurring right inside their own mouth
• make and take home super polymer bounce balls
• make and take home your own instant snow
• pour and cast your own take home fossils.
  

Details

The presentation runs for 90 minutes and costs A$400 for up to 20 children. Extra children (to a maximum of 30 children) incur a A$20 surcharge per child. To participate, children must be aged 5 and over.

For the presentation, we require:

• a table
• a car space to park our vehicle (on the street outside your house is fine)
• additional adult supervision and assistance for some activities
• a large open area for party, eg backyard, hall, park
• we can travel to your home or you can have the party at our education centre.

Note: provisions can be made for inside locations but some activities are only possible in outside venues.
