Computer and video games. For over 10 years, scientists have told us that action video game players. No Evidence to Support Link Between Violent Video Games and Behavior.
. Buy packs of plain cotton t-shirts or undershirts. Cut them up the middle (they are knit so they won't unravel). Wear these as lab coats. Your mad scientists may wish to decorate their lab coats with permanent markers or do some to personalize their science gear. Purchase inexpensive safety goggles, sunglasses, or wacky glasses from a dollar store. Make construction paper geeky bow ties, which can be attached to a shirt or 'lab coat' with a safety pin or paper clip.
Print a lab safety symbol and attach it to the lab coat with a safety pin or even double-stick tape. Get balloons. Mylar (the shiny silver kind) look high-tech, but you can use normal latex balloons for electricity science experiments. Helium-filled balloons are great for (illustrating density).
You could inflate surgical gloves as decorations, too. You can print MSDS sheets or for sucrose (sugar) or sodium chloride (salt) or lab. Biohazard is always a nice touch, though radiation is also cool. You can decorate a chalkboard or dry erase board with equations or instructions for your science projects. Fill jars with food-colored water. Add plastic eyeballs, animals, fake body parts, or whatever you find that looks 'science-y'.
Dissect a few gummy worms or frogs, pinned to cardboard. I highly recommend having a black light (ultraviolet lamp). There are several food and drink options that will glow under a black light, plus it opens up the possibilities for glowing party games and makes everything look cool. Replace your normal light bulbs with colored bulbs. Bake a red velvet cake in a mixing bowl.
If you have access to dry ice, you can hollow out the top of the cake to accommodate a small cup and frost all around the cup. When it's time to serve the cake add hot water to the cup and drop in a bit of dry ice.
If you don't have access to dry ice you can use lava-colored fruit roll-ups to simulate an eruption. Frost the cake with chocolate frosting or swirl red and yellow food coloring into vanilla frosting.
Use orange frosting to make lava running down the sides of the cake. Sprinkle red sugar crystals onto the orange lava. To make a fruit roll-up eruption, fold two lava-colored fruit roll-ups in half and re-roll them. Set them into the frosting on top of the cake. Have your party guests make colored celery sticks by soaking cut celery in food-colored water.
You can explain capillary action! Serve the celery with cream cheese or peanut butter. Serve normal food, but give it science names. Do you have guacamole-flavored chips? Call them alien crunchies. All the usual foods are good: hot dogs, pizza, spaghetti. You could use colored water to make the spaghetti.
You can make sandwich wraps resemble kooky mad scientists. Use vegetables for hair, olive slices for eyes, and cut cheese for detailed features.
You can add chicken or tuna salad, or pretty much any filling. Use a black light and make. Make blood pudding. Yes, it sounds gross, and no, I'm not recommending making the traditional dish, real blood and all. Simply add red food coloring to vanilla or banana instant pudding. You can add a few gummy worms to increase the gross-factor. Tastes great, kind of disgusting.
You can make or carbonated. Anything served in a beaker or test tube. If it is carbonated or brightly-colored (like Mountain Dew) so much the better. Anything made using tonic water will glow under a black light. If you freeze tonic water, the ice cubes will glow bright blue under a black light. Consider freezing candy eyeballs or gummy worms into ice cubes to add to drinks.
You can use glowsticks as stirring rods or decorations in your drinks. If you have access to dry ice, adding a little to a punch bowl will produce a dramatic boiling, foggy effect. Just don't drink the dry ice!
.Koalas are not bears. They're marsupials and are more closely related to kangaroos.Some meteorites are small pieces of the moon.' Shooting stars' are actually meteors.Half a million neurons form every minute during the first five months in the womb.Fireflies aren't flies at all. They're beetles!.Identical twins have the exact same genes, but their fingerprints are unique.Some meteorites are as old as the solar system.Antarctica is a continent surrounded by ocean. The Arctic is the opposite, an expanse of ocean surrounded by continents.Bats are the only mammals that can truly fly.Many sauropods grew new teeth as often as once a month, as old ones wore out.If melted, the ice sheets covering Antarctica would raise global sea level by almost 70 meters (230 feet).
