Hello, welcome along to a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly. This is the only show that vows to explore the universe and find out all the sciencey secrets that are lurking inside and get you back home in about half an hour. My name's Dan. Thank you so much for listening. Now this Monday Monday, June 1st, is in the UK anyway.

It's National Dinosaur Day.

So to celebrate, we've got a dinosaur special.

Going back in time, loads in the podcast this week.

We'll talk to a paleontologist, all about how he discovers new dinosaurs and then names them.
