Science show for children for the holiday. Entertaining experiences and experiments at home

I decided to devote a separate article to funny scientific experiments, since our customers often ask to do children's party entirely educational. In other words, a program with animators can easily be replaced with a very interesting science show.

What occasions is a science show suitable for?

This program is worth ordering if:

1. You don't want the program to have a lot of outdoor games. Great! The children won't have time to run around. Their goal is to learn to control the elements and create mind-blowing special effects on their own.
2. Your children have attended many holidays with animators and know competitions and relay races by heart. Nothing to do with pirates and princesses! Only science in its most spectacular expression!
3. You decided to gather a lot of children of different ages , and you don’t know what to come up with to make it interesting for everyone. A science show is a great way out. Everything will be so impressive that a 3-year-old child and a 15-year-old teenager will feel “at ease.”
4. Do you want your children to gain new knowledge?. Yes, everything will be like that. The presenter explains each experiment at a level that is understandable to children who have not yet studied chemistry and physics. If the children are older, the interpretation of miracles will be more scientific.
5. It is important for you that children are not just spectators, but also active participants in the show. For each experiment, assistants are called to the table with instruments, so that each child has time to feel like a scientist.
6. You appreciate thoughtful scenarios where every second is surprising and delightful. So many experiments are carried out in an hour and a half that the presenter has to speak and move quickly in order to have time to show everything he has planned.

What's in the program?

There are several scenario options, here is a brief description of each of them:

Incredible Science (60-70 minutes)

Children will throw lightning bolts, break a rose into small pieces, invent snow, build vortex cannon, grow ice sculptures and even design hydrogen bomb. Only 18 rooms!

Fire and Ice (60-70 minutes)

I will list some of the names of the rooms: Frosty Breath, What Taste carbon dioxide, Smoke foam, invisible water, volcano, vortex rings, slime, etc. (total 15 rooms).

Terminator suppressor (60-70 minutes)

Liquid nitrogen - in leading role. Here your children will find a fruit hammer and an ice shower, nitrogen mist and fire in the palm of their hand, a foam invasion and glowing worms. A total of 14 amazing experiences!

War of the Worlds (90 minutes)

This program contains the most spectacular experiments with electricity, dry ice and liquid nitrogen. 27 best numbers from all programs!

How much does a science show cost?

The cost is influenced by two factors: the number of participants and the remoteness of the event location.

Program/number of people

up to 15 people

up to 20 people

up to 35 people

Incredible Science (60-70 min.)

Fire and Ice (60-70 min)

Terminator suppressor (60-70 min.)

War of the Worlds (90 min.)

Up to 3 km from the Moscow Ring Road - free travel, up to 15 km - up to 1500 rubles, up to 40 km - up to 3000 rubles.

The scenario for children from 3 to 6 years old involves a program designed for a maximum of 30 minutes, and it is important that the children do not get bored, for this you can hold a general dance, or a general game... In this scenario, one of the options will be presented, convenient for the author, and time-tested. But you can come up with your own that suits you.

List of experiences for the children's program:

Changing colors “light” (for the experiment you need: potato starch, 9% vinegar, ascorbic acid, iodine, three percent hydrogen peroxide)

1) The Bunsen flask inflates the ball (pour vinegar into the Bunsen flask, then add soda, then close the lid... Gas is released, which enters the ball pre-attached to the spout of the flask)
2) Elephant foam “LIGHT” - differs in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (in this case, peroxide is 37%), liquid soap is used instead of a cleaning agent, and dry yeast is used instead of potassium iodide. The foam is less reactive, heats up less, and does not smell as strong, so you can show it to children at a very close distance.
3) “Diapers in cups” - this experiment is recommended to be carried out very first, since it, in combination with eyeliner (see below), attracts children’s attention to the science show.\
Pour diaper granules into one of three opaque cups, then pour water. We tell the children in advance that the experiment is about attentiveness; now we will guess where our water is. We pour water into this glass, change it several times, ask where the water is, pour water out of all the glasses, but it does not pour out. Then we reveal the secret.
4) STARCH IN WATER. – before this experiment, you need to ask the children if they know what a bulletproof vest is. We talk about this a little, and say that we also have a bulletproof vest, and now we will make it. It is advisable to prepare the substance in advance, as you can overdo it with water, and then the experiment will not work.
5) Foam of the Snake Gorynych. Add most of the liquid to a small part liquid soap. We wet our hand with soap, then fill a bubble on our hand from a gas cylinder (there should be a special nozzle on the gas cylinder) and set it on fire. Eyeliner further….
6) Oil-salt-water-pop

Hello, dear friends!!
My name is Professor Alex Reagentovich Kolbochkin, and I just love to blow things up, burst into flames, and share my experiments with my inquisitive friends. I hope there are such inquisitive guys among you?
Children answer reluctantly, embarrassed.
- Is there something I can’t hear?
-ddddddda!!! - they answer louder
- So, let's do it again...
And we ask loudly so that the children understand that they can shout:
-Are there any inquisitive guys here?
-YEEES!!! - the children shout loudly.
And then in a serious voice:
But let’s immediately agree that without my permission we WILL NOT TOUCH ANYTHING WITH OUR HANDS in my scientific laboratory. Agreed?
“Yesss!” the children answer.
-Then let's go!!!
We have a birthday boy here, let's congratulate him with our applause!
We call the birthday boy, say to him the “testaments of Mendeleev,” and the children keep repeating:
I pledge to love order
Be precise, inquisitive and attentive,
Obey your parents and respect your elders.
After this, you can dance a scientific and simple dance.

So, my dear guys, what is the most important thing in science, and in particular in chemistry?
-Safety, accuracy, and care!!! - they answer... And if they don’t answer, then we help them.
- This is very good, and now, before you and I begin to engage in wonderful and magical science, we will check your attentiveness, don’t you agree?
-Yes!!! - the kids answer, and we conduct an experiment
"Diapers in cups"
- Well, guys, I tried very hard to confuse you, but even I, a crazy professor, failed! Now I know for sure that you and I will not get lost in the world of science, and certainly not disappear!!
I already trust you so much that I’m ready to introduce you to my trained flask, Agafona Grigorievna. (showing a Bunsen flask)
Guys, do you have any pets at home that follow commands?
My hand flask can also carry out commands. But since she is a particularly picky person, unlike other trained flasks, she first needs to be treated to something tasty, and then she follows the command. She specializes in inflating balloons.
Let's all ask her to blow up the balloon.
(please bring your children together).
You can also ask the guys to pet Agafona Grigorievna, since “she’s a capricious lady, she may not agree.” After everyone has been stroked or asked “Agathona Grigorievna”
We conduct an experiment. A Bunsen flask inflates a balloon.

You guys have probably already guessed that our “Agafona Grigorievna” is not completely trained, but this was a scientific chemical experiment.
Children answer...
Millions of things happen in our body every second. chemical reactions with transformations of some substances into others, and with changes in colors in a “reduced form, and we will now try to simulate a small part of them.
Conducting an experiment
Changing colors "light".
Pour a little into one of the three glasses (glass “A”) warm water, and dissolve a tablespoon of starch in it. Pour the same amount of water into the second glass (Glass “B”) and dissolve three tablets in it ascorbic acid. Pour some water into the third glass (Glass “G”), and add a little iodine and two tablespoons of vinegar.
We pour glass “B” into glass “G”, and glass “G” changes color. Next, pour glass “A” into glass “G” and add 5 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide. A reaction similar to “Egyptian Night” occurs...

So you and I got acquainted with scientific transformations, now we can even make the most real, high-tech, and environmentally friendly body armor for the Ministry of Defense Russian Federation!!! Interesting???
-Yes!!!
Then let's go!!!
We conduct the experiment “STARCH IN WATER”:
Pour the adjusted amount of water into a pre-prepared container with starch to obtain the desired consistency. Starch turns out to be fluid if it is not physically affected, and becomes hard if influenced.
Next, we explain to the guys that the same technology is used to create protective motorcycle uniforms, as well as in body armor. Let's move on!!!
Guys, I have a question for you, just honestly. Who has an elephant at home???
Okay, who has ever seen an elephant? Tell me, do elephants have big teeth?
How much toothpaste do you think is needed to brush his teeth?
I’ll tell you one secret, while I was waiting for you, an elephant ran into our laboratory...
He was in a hurry to get to work at the zoo, so he couldn't be there today. HE said he had run out of toothpaste and had nothing to brush his teeth with.
What happens, friends, when you don’t brush your teeth?
That's right, they start to hurt and give off a bad smell.
The elephant asked me to make toothpaste for him... I thought about this for a long time, and literally a few minutes before you arrived I came up with this experiment:
We are conducting an experiment with Foam for an elephant “LIGHT”.
Next remains the foam of the snake Gorynych.
Here it must be said that not only elephants come to our laboratory... Today, for example, the Serpent Gorynych came to us in person. We quarreled a little and he wanted to burn me, but I stopped his fire scientific method. And from his fire there was this foam left... We show the foam. And we discovered quite interesting properties of this foam:
We are conducting the experiment of Pen Serpent Gorynych.

Next, if there is time left, we conduct an experiment with vegetable oil Oil-salt-water-pop.
The bottom line is this: now you are real scientists, and in honor of the holiday we will make a science cocktail lantern. If you have a flashlight, even after the foam of the snake gorynych, it looks quite bright:
Pour oil into a glass, then add water - the oil rises to the top. Then we pour salt into a glass - an interesting reaction begins. You can add a little iodine to color the water and drop an effervescent tablet into the glass. After this, you can hold the glass over a flashlight - you get a kind of lamp.

Is it your child's birthday? Are you looking for a clown and balloons? Are you sure this will be interesting for children? But I'm starting to doubt it! Of course, a talented clown can surprise and make even adults laugh. But let's come up with something more original and at the same time useful and educational for a children's party!

Wonders of science, funny experiments, a magical laboratory with funny scientists - all this will certainly arouse children's interest! Create for the guys educational holiday with real scientific experiments that are absolutely safe and so exciting. Recommended Scenario children's day birth for children 7-12 years old.

Thematic decoration of a children's party

To decorate a children's party, we will choose the most bright colors and icons, symbols from a chemistry textbook, associated with science, experimental laboratory. And, of course, for decoration we need toy white mice, test tubes,

When decorating a table, it is better to give preference unusual snacks and desserts: blue and green drinks, colored jelly, bags of marmalade of the most unusual shapes.

As an invitation, you can take the idea of ​​a personalized pass to a secret laboratory. Children will also be happy if they are given a uniform and undergo a rite of passage to become secret scientists.

Games and entertainment for children's party Little Einsteins

To realize the idea of ​​a holiday with scientific experiments, it is best to invite animators from suitable program. But you can also purchase a ready-made set for experiments that can be carried out with children.

Parents can be presenters and act as eccentric scientists. You will need a white robe, glasses and a suitcase with props. You can add a mustache like Einstein’s and a funny giant watch on a chain to your look.

You can divide this time into 3 parts:

A fascinating one-hour program with fun experiments, scientific discoveries, in which your children will participate;

Outdoor games;

Delicious change.

You can start the program by initiating children into secret employees of the experimental laboratory. Tests may include: a quiz on the topic different phenomena nature, learning and performing a dance in which is encrypted secret code to open a laboratory. Children can find it interesting to solve charades and puzzles, build logical chains, as well as active games with the ball “Edible - not edible”, and, of course, participation in real experiments.

Scientific experiments and experiments for children at home

Mix liquids of different densities and colors.

Pour in 1 part water, 1 part sunflower oil, 1 part bright-colored syrup. Children can observe the magical distribution of liquid through layers.

Use ready-made kits to conduct such science experiments for children. The holiday will be not only fun, but also educational!

Don’t forget about a photographer for a children’s party who will capture this unusually fun and interesting day as a memory.

Progress of the event

Everyone good afternoon! With you today I am a mad scientist! I am the one whom the whole world fears, because it is impossible to track me down and catch me! I know a lot of experiences and experiments! Would you like to come to my science lab with me? Then go ahead!

They are sent to the laboratory, where they are placed on the table various containers filled with colorful substances.

Look how beautiful it is! There are so many unusual things here! By the way, did you notice if anyone was following us? No? Okay, what can we hope for - we'll cover our tracks!

Conducts the “Smoke without Fire” experiment.

Small pieces of dry ice are gradually added into a container of water. As a result, thick smoke should fall, which is ordinary fog. It appears as a result of cooling of water vapor. Each participant conducts the experiment individually, so that the pair is as large as possible (as the Scientist explains).

Guys, I have so many bottles here that I wanted to make many, many shelves so that they don't crowd the whole table. But for some reason nothing worked for me! Look!

He takes 2 tin cans and places a sheet of paper on them. He tries to place a glass container on top - the paper sheet bends, unable to withstand the weight.

I have no other materials! How can this be? Maybe someone can advise?

Children think. As a result, they must guess that the sheet needs to be folded like an accordion, then the glass container will rest on it.

You helped me wonderfully! After today's holiday I will make so many shelves that all my bottles and jars will fit on them! Now we need to put some order here. Can you help?

Conducts the competition-experience “Power of Breathing”.

There are clotheslines stretched along the room (according to the number of participants). A hanger is suspended from a rope, on which a book is secured with strong threads. The guys blow on the book, trying to move it to the opposite edge of the rope. They must realize that the problem must not be solved by force (in this case, the book’s journey to the opposite end of the room will be very long). It is important to note here that with light, regular blows you can move the book much further.

Now I have order! Now you can celebrate your birthday! Guys, do you know what fun drink they usually drink during the holidays? That's right - champagne! We will now make it with our own hands!

Conducts the “Merry Champagne” experiment.

Add a couple of small pieces of dry ice into a bottle of champagne filled with water a little more than halfway. Cover with a stopper and shake until it is completely dissolved. Then they release the cork - it flies out, as if there was a real drink there. The main thing in this experiment is not to overdo it with the amount of dry ice, otherwise the container may simply burst. You can hold a competition for the farthest flying cork.

Somehow it seems to me that our pursuers have finally discovered the place where we are hiding. We urgently need to neutralize them! Do you think the bomb will help? Then we urgently get to work making it!

Conducts the “Bomb” experiment.

A small piece of rubber hose is rolled up and secured. From the other end, add a little crushed dry ice inside, the other end is also wrapped and secured so that there are no holes left. The safety bomb is ready! Within a minute, the hose should swell and burst (it is important to install the hose away from children). After the explosion, the Scientist at the door "finds" rubber gun pursuers.

Now let's freeze their weapons so they can't use them against us!

Conducts the Arctic Cold experiment.

Acetone is poured into the container (all actions are carried out away from fire). Add several pieces of dry ice one at a time. Acetone boils at first, then begins to react more calmly. At this point, frost will begin to appear on the walls of the vessel - it is now very cold there. The scientist lowers the rubber weapon into the icy liquid and takes it out after about 10 minutes. The rubber becomes hard and brittle. The scientist breaks it with a hammer.

Look how great everything turned out - they cleaned up the laboratory and got rid of their pursuers. Now you can celebrate! Now let’s write mysterious messages to each other and learn to read them!

Conducts the “Invisible Ink” experiment.

Mix the same amount of water and lemon juice. Cotton wool is wrapped around a toothpick - with this pen you will need to write any wish for the birthday boy on paper with “lemon” ink. As soon as the sheet dries, it is brought to the switched on table lamp. When heated, the written words will appear on the paper, and the birthday person will be able to receive a written congratulation.

Then games and competitions are held:

• "Bird in a Cage." A bird is depicted on one side of a circle made of thick cardboard, and a cage on the other. 2 holes are pierced at the top and bottom, through which the threads are threaded. Holding the ends of the threads, the children rotate the cardboard circle, twisting and unwinding the threads. Thus, a cartoon effect is created when it seems that the bird is in a cage.
• "Strongmen." The guys get cocktail straws. Their task is to stick the tube into a raw potato without crushing it. The secret is that you can do this by covering the upper end with your finger and sharply lowering the tube onto the potato.
• "Pipette". The kids' task is to use a straw to transfer water from one glass to another. To do this, you will need to lower the tube into a glass of water, clamp it on top, transfer it to an empty container and release the finger with which you clamped it. The water that was in the straw will flow into the empty glass.
• "Musicians". Flutes are made from straws: one end is flattened and trimmed, and 3 holes are made at the opposite end at the same distance. They play by blowing into a straw and closing the holes one by one with their fingers. You can “hum” a certain melody (for example, “Happy birthday to you!”).
