Summary

It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we put YOUR questions to our team of experts, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about an Iranian glass bead from 3,000 years ago discovered at 'Britain's Pompeii' - Must Farm!

Dan starts with the latest science news, where we learn about a place in the USA about to experience its second solar eclipse in seven years, a 270 million year old fossil named Kermit The Frog and Chris Wakefield from Cambridge Archaeology joins us to talk all The glass used to create beads that was discovered at a prehistoric settlement dubbed "Britain's Pompeii" was probably made in Iran!

Then we delve into your questions where Dan explains why we're yet to visit another planet and we pose Aidan's question on how smart speakers work to Pip Knight from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Sand Flea also known as Tunga Penetrans

The Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Dr Genoveva Esteban from University of Bournemouth all about why Microbes are the best! Then we pay a visit to Bene and Mal as they let us know the different ways microbes can get into the human body.

What do we learn about?

- How the USA could be about to experience its second solar eclipse in seven years?

- a 270 million year old fossil named Kermit The Frog

- How an Iranian bead has been discovered at 'Britain's Pompeii'

- How smart speakers really work?

0:00.0	Welcome along Explorer. It is time to search the solar system. We are seeking out some science secrets in a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
0:14.7	My name is Dan.
0:15.7	Thank you so much for being there.
0:17.3	This is the place where we trawl all around the galaxy a little bit further too in
0:21.6	about half an hour and we find some science that
0:24.7	well we've never really heard before today we will carry on our quest to find the
0:29.7	greatest science of them all with a big argument about something tiny.
0:37.0	I find new species to science and microbes that haven't been found for more than 100 years.
0:44.7	So they are extremely rare, but I do manage to find them and that is great information
0:50.3	for the scientific world. And we'll answer your questions we do every single week with a proper genius this week.
0:58.0	It's all about smart speakers.
1:00.0	This machine learning technology are really quite clever. In fact, our speakers
1:06.2	continuously improve how good they are at recognizing our individual voices.
1:11.8	So these machine learning models are continuously
1:14.8	being trained by our use of them.
1:17.6	And you can hear about something tiny trying to borrow inside of you. It's all on the way in a
1:25.4	brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
1:29.4	Let's kick things off with your science in the news.
1:37.0	Normally a place should see a total solar eclipse once every 375 years.
1:43.2	There's one part of America though,
1:45.0	they're about to get their second one in just seven years.
1:47.8	Total solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the sun completely.
