This is a podcast from the children's radio station Fun Kids. Listen on DAB digital radio across the UK or online at FunKidslive.com.

Hello, my name's Dan. This is another episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly. And actually, we're not just any old podcast now. No, no, no. We're an award-winning podcast now.

Just about, you see, we won a bronze prize the other day in the British podcast awards,

I keep forgetting to drink enough water. You've got any tips to help me out?

Of course!

Firstly, let's have a reminder of the Targets Nanobot.
