All right, Explorer. It's the time of the week, where you need to drop whatever you're doing, pay no more attention to that.

Things are getting serious we're traveling across the universe for a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.

My name is Dan, this is the show that searches out all those science secrets lurking through the solar system.

And this week, we're investigating something that you see probably every day, and you might not

know or have thought about how it's working. We'll talk about glasses.

So the purpose of a spectacle lens is try to focus or bend that light so that it meets right at the right point at the back of the

retina. And our quest to find the greatest science of all time takes us

inside your brain.

One of the weirdest things is that feeling that there's a kind of battle going on in your

head between finding something familiar and knowing that that can't be true.

It's such an unusual experience and something that we talk about so much when it happens to us. And you can hear about a small wild very mean cat. It's all coming up in a brand new fun

kids science weekly.

Let's start with your science in the news and there's new hope for the

corn-crake bird to make a comeback in England. For many years the call that it made a squawking crex, crex kind of noise was very common across the countryside,

but due to habitat loss the bird was on the brink of extinction.

Seriously, they were thought to only be three in 2021.

But since then, hundreds have been bred in captivity.

Some have been released. There's now a lot more, which shows that taking serious efforts

to boost the numbers of wildlife does work.

So we might be worried about the numbers of some species but if we give real

thought to helping them it can go a long way. Also this is a brilliant story the

success of a racehorse can be predicted by what's in its stomach
