Birthday Party FAQ's

- Are they fun?

That's what birthday parties are all about!

Birthday parties are times when children are most active. However children get bored easily and so need many activities to keep them busy.

Our parties utilise experiments that captivate children of all ages, where their fascination as to 'how things work' keeps them more than occupied . Often adults are compelled to join in when their child brings an experiment to them with a smile on their face!

Our presenters are constantly assessed by teachers, parents and peers, with feedback being provided almost daily. They are well practiced in gauging audience reactions and utilise humour, anecdotes and memorable demonstrations to reach children. 

Above all - we like what we do and it shows!

- Are they safe?

Of course! 

All presenters of Fizzics Education Pty Ltd hold at the very least a B.Sc, with the majority also holding teaching and/or science communication qualifications. Each presenter has experience in presenting science programmes in a variety of settings and performance appraisals by teachers and parents are routinely submitted to our office.

Each employee is screened by the 'Working with Children Check' adminstered by the NSW Commission for Children & Young People. This includes a full background check as required by following legislation:

Child Protection (Prohibited Employment) Act 1998

Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000

The background check also covers federal and state criminal records and relevant Apprehended Violence Order checks.

Our programmes adhere to the 'Chemical Safety in Schools' document that is administered by NSW Department of Education and Training. 

This document governs all chemical activities that occur in schools and educational institutions from years K to 12 and specifies who can demonstrate chemical reactions and under which circumstances. Fizzics Education Pty Ltd  is fully insured, with $10 million dollars (AUD) in public liability insurance.

- Are girls interested?

Absolutely! Both boys and girls are interested in how the world works. This is especially apparent for children under 12 years regardless of gender, where concrete learning is predominant. 

Concrete learning is typified by the need to manipulate and explore the world using touch. 

Our hands on activities are designed to stimulate interest in science for both genders and as such we rarely notice a difference between boys and girls parties.

Not as much as you could imagine!

We present hundreds of parties a year and so the programmes must be able to be run without damaging or staining people's homes. Bubbles and slime are run outdoors for obvious reasons, however the majority of the programme can be run on carpet if necessary.

All materials used are non-toxic and do not stain furniture, carpet or clothes.

If this is still a concern, we can make sherbet instead of bubbles and slime - just know that experience has shown that children prefer the tactile experience of making slime!

- Are they messy?

- What happens if it rains?

As we run hundreds of parties a year, it's bound to rain during a couple of them. The only activities that need to be run outdoors are bubbles and slime making. On booking we always check that you have considered having a covered area such as a garage, lounge room or verandah as a fallback position. Having a covered area to use is wise choice anyway, as hot windy days can be uncomfortable for the children. When it rains the covered area becomes the focus of the party, whereby we make sherbet that children can eat and extend the science show instead of the bubbles and slime. The rest of the programme remains the same.
