Hello, welcome along. My name's Dan. Thank you so much for giving us a listen. In this episode, particularly, you need to get ready for your brains to be properly bursting by the end. We've got a chemistry special of the Fun Kids Science Weekly for you. We'll be learning all about it. You see, it's the part of science that looks at how matter is made, what it's made of. It investigates what it is, and matters reaction with other bits of matter,

and we find out how new things are made.

You see, everything in the universe is made of atoms, their teeny tiny building blocks.

Now, an element has only one type of atom.

When they join together, they make bigger, more

complicated things. We'll talk about this loads over the next couple of episodes. We've got two

chemistry specials for you with a bunch of chemistry experts. We'll find out why glass isn't a

solid or even a liquid. It's somewhere in between. That's on the way this week. You can also hear

why really

you're over 13 billion years old and I've got some of your questions to answer in just a sec. First,

let's get straight into it with our superhero friend. This is Carina's Chemistry.

Karina's Chemistry with support from the Royal Society of Chemistry.

I was having a toy clear out because Dad said my dolls had more shoes than he did

and he was sick of treading on my building blocks.

Hmm, can you hear me roll my eyes on radio?

Anyway, I was getting properly bored with it all.

So it was actually great that Kmystery, my superhero alter ego, showed up. Hiya! Oh wow! You have a lot of toys! Let me help you

sort them out. Chemists are brilliant at sorting things into groups. What? Like doll shoes

and building blocks. Oh my gosh doll's shoes and building blocks.

Oh my gosh.

Chemists love building blocks.

Not so mad on dolls shoes.
