Summary
Put on your scuba gear, we're going below the waves this week to check out some sharks! Eloise is a shark expert who went to the Bahamas with Steve Backshall, to study sharks and their environment for CBBC's Deadly Mission Shark. Sharks have a bad reputation, but do they deserve it? It's important that our animals are safe and protected, and Eloise has some ideas on how we can all help.
In science news there's a dinosaur skeleton for sale in Paris, you'll find out how weather forecasts work when Dan answers your listener questions, and a tiny caterpillar is capable of a whole lot of destruction in Dangerous Dan!

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome along. It's that time of the week where we're getting itchy feet. |
| 0:05.7 | Life is a bit boring down here on Planet Earth, so let's head across the universe. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome along to the Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name is Dan. This is the show that explores |
| 0:17.4 | all the science secrets lurking through the solar system. Now this week we've got an incredible |
| 0:22.2 | guest, someone who has won a competition to go shark diving with Steve Bacchol for a brand new TV show. |
| 0:32.3 | So I've always been taught that sharks are just these killing machines and overseas society. |
| 0:37.4 | It's drilled that into those young people, but actually being in there in the water and the |
| 0:42.8 | sharks weren't aggressive and they weren't trying to come up towards us. Miss them didn't even |
| 0:47.8 | notice us in the water and with them, and I think it's just learning how to be here for them. |
| 0:54.2 | Also, we'll take a trip to Deep Space High, the smartest school in the solar system, |
| 0:58.8 | to hear all about why different languages are important for space exploration. |
| 1:05.6 | Who'd like to share their interests? Go on playing. Well, language is a pretty fun. I learned how to |
| 1:11.6 | speak Turkish and last month so I could join them with the chat on a video game I bought. Was it |
| 1:16.0 | difficult? No, I completed the game in a week. And I've got your questions to answer this week |
| 1:22.3 | down on weather forecasts. And why some dinosaurs didn't eat meat? Turns out a lot of them didn't, |
| 1:29.6 | we'll find out in a brand new fun kid science weekly. Let's kick things off with your |
| 1:36.6 | science in the news. The sea ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous level recorded |
| 1:44.7 | in winter. New satellite data shows it's very worrying that the sea ice is melting around there |
| 1:53.6 | because the ice does a brilliant job all around the world. If it melts, not only will sea levels rise |
| 2:00.6 | but also that ice kind of keeps the planet cool. The white surface reflects the sun's energy |
| 2:06.0 | back into the atmosphere. Now without that, it means Antarctica would go from being the Earth's |
| 2:13.0 | refrigerator to a radiator. It would make everything much warmer. That is very bad news and just |
