| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a quick tour around the universe. It's the first episode of December. |
| 0:05.9 | I hope your holiday season has started very science-y because this is The Fun Kids Science Weekly. |
| 0:13.8 | My name's Dan. Every week we come together to explore the solar system and see what science |
| 0:19.1 | secrets are lurking nearby and there's a lot packed into this week. So strap yourself in. |
| 0:24.6 | We're learning about why chimps walk together. So closely they mimic each other's footsteps |
| 0:30.6 | and they fall into line. Why does that happen? You can find out with the genius Manon Schfeinfert. |
| 0:37.9 | Even when research has told participants to not fall into the favor of them, the participants |
| 0:44.4 | couldn't help it. And so we thought well that is such a simple forum. Let's look at other |
| 0:50.1 | alleles whether we would find at least such a simple forum. Also we're back with Amy's Aviation |
| 0:56.8 | this week for the last few months. Amy has been teaching us all of our planes how they take off, |
| 1:01.6 | what they're made of, how they stay in the air. This time we're headed into space. |
| 1:06.9 | On the International Space Station, astronauts spend much of their time keeping it in tip-tock |

| 1:19.0 | And I've got your questions to answer as always this week. They are on cats and dogs and how they |
| 1:24.2 | see and also roller coasters. Roller coasters being really fast. It's on the way in a brand new |
| 1:30.8 | fun kid science weekly. Let's kick things off with your science in the news. So a replica of what |
| 1:38.0 | might be the largest animal to ever walk on land is coming to London next year. It's a sour |
| 1:43.0 | pod dinosaur known as Patago Titan. It's at the Natural History Museum through 2023. Get this, |
| 1:50.4 | it's 35 meters nose to tail. In real life it would have weighed about 60 tons and it's based on |
| 1:57.2 | fossils found in Argentina South America eight years ago where scientists discovered the |
| 2:02.5 | dyno bones from a hundred million years ago. How amazing is it that their experts all over the |
| 2:09.2 | world still digging and still finding completely new dinosaurs that we never knew existed. |
