Welcome along, Explorer. We're coming to the end of 2025. So let's squeeze in as many science

adventures as we can for 2025. Let's get on with a brand new Fun Kid Science Weekly.

My name's Dan. This is the place that you come to search out all of those super science secrets scurrying through the

solar system. This week, we'll travel back to ancient Egypt to unlock the secrets of a language

lost for thousands of years. In the sort of 18th century with Napoleon, he was in Egypt and

he was interested in history.

And he brought back to Europe some various stones, including a stone that's called the Rosetta

Stone. And the Rosetta Stone actually has three languages on it. Ancient Egyptian Yeroliffe's, it has

Demotic and ancient Greek. Also, we'll head back even further to learn about a brilliant beast back in the

late Jurassic period and deep in your head sits a squishy, sparkly machine. Today, we're

finding out how it actually works. So sometimes we work with dead brains, so brains of people or animals that are no longer living,

and those we can slice up and look at under a microscope and work out all the intricate detail.

And if somebody's had some injury to their brain, then after they've died,

we can work out which bit of the brain was damaged and therefore work out what bit does what.

That's all on the way in a brand new fun kid's science weekly.

Let's start with your science in the news and robotic dogs will be used to try and predict

and tackle wildfires.

Now wildfires, they cause chaos as they engulf woodlands

across the world with flames they can often be started accidentally. And a team at the University

of Bradford are going to use four-legged androids with drones as well to spot the first signs

of smoke and to send alerts to emergency teams.

This will be tested in Greece next year.
