Welcome to a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly!
Dan is chatting to Shini Somara this week. She's an engineering expert and has a book coming out all about the cool things engineers have done. With illustrations and a haven of science information, Engineers Making A Difference is one to look out for! You might see it in your secondary school, as Shini's book is being donated to schools across the UK.
Your questions are answered - are hyena laughs a stereotype? - and Dangerous Dan delves into an awesome lizard with a fancy name and a deadly party trick. All that and SO MUCH MORE in this week's episode!
