Summary

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

In this episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly, we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out to determine which science is the best, and learn all about why studying rocks...ROCKS!

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with the return of America's oldest serving astronaut, Don Pettit, who returns to Earth on his 70th birthday. Next, we learn about a ground-breaking new project to suck carbon out of the sea. And finally, Robin May, Chief Scientific Adviser at the Food Standards Agency joins Dan to discuss the prospect of lab-grown food being sold in the UK within 2 years.

Then, we answer your questions! Etienne wants to know: what a full blood moon is. And dog behaviour expert, Jane Robinson, answers Henry’s question: Are dogs smart?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the deadly Blue Malayan Coral Snake

In Battle of the Sciences, geologist Dr. Cedric John shows us why rocks rock — and why geology might just be the most important science of all!

What do we learn about?
