by Sarah the Scientist.
Want an exciting Birthday Party that will be the envy of all your friends? Then try a Sarah the Scientist Science Birthday Party. I am base on the beautiful Kāpiti Coast, just outside Wellington and mainly cover the Greater Wellington area and Horowhenua.
My party philosophy is to have every child as involved as possible with everyone getting hands-on with all the experiments. I will of course wear my lab coat to get the proper science look! You can hire child sized lab coats for the participants. Check out the gallery below.
A science party normally take two to two and a half hours. In that time Sarah the Scientist will do three hands-on experiments with the party goers. The most popular experiments are Fake Snow, Slime and Mini Rockets. With Fake Snow and Slime everyone takes home what they make. For the full list of party experiments please email me at sarahthescientist@xtra.co.nz.
In between the experiments Sarah needs some time to clean up and reset for the next experiment, normally parents do present opening, a party game or eating. Sarah is there to make your life easier so there is no rush with these activities. She will wait until the children have finished their activity before starting the next experiment.
Payment options and participant minimum
$30 per head option which includes the party plus personalised invitations and party bags with Dr K’s Mind-blowing Milk experiment kit (other Dr K Science Kits by negotiation) and some science lollies.
$25 per head option for just the party.
For a party in Wellington, The Hutt there is a minimum of 12 children. On the Kapiti Coast it is a minimum of 10 kids. If you are further afield let me know and I will price it for you.
Alternatively if you are having a big family get together, with lots of children, I can do walk up and do science activities for the children starting at $350. This is a Family Science Party click for further details.
