That's the drone that means this is a brand new episode of our Fun Kids Science Weekly

podcast. My name's Dan. Thank you so much for giving us a listen. This is the show where we

take a sneak peek and try and solve all the secrets that are lurking out there in the universe.

Now this week we chat about the bizarre brain disease that sends people to sleep and sometimes they never wake up.

Also, we chat about all the ways that humans are really quite similar to animals.

We talk to a genius about that, a guy called Christopher Lloyd, and it's all about a brand new book

that he's written, which takes you through all of the amazing animals that are out there

and how similar they are to us humans.

And I've got some of your questions to answer.

Today, they're about light bulbs and rockets.

We'll crack through those after we catch up with one of our favorite experts on this show.

This is Sir Sidney McSprocket,

and he's telling us how things that we use every

single day are made.

How's it made?

Oh, hello, Sir Sidney McSprocket here. I've been in action capturing facts all about

manufacturing. It's for this rather splendid stipendary compendium and compiling.

You just ask it how something is made and it'll oblige with a fulsome explanation.

Now, something that gets a lot of people a bit excited is slime.

Not sure why, myself.

Slime's better off left in ponds if you ask me.

But it's a fun substance to play with.
