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 ecology and how it shapes everything around us!
Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. Next, we learn about plans for a new national forest in England which could see up to 20 million trees being planted. Finally, Dr. Francisco Diego from UCL joins Dan to discuss a huge revelation in the scientific world which could reshape our understanding of time and space…
Then, we answer your questions! Zara wants to know if sea water gets warmer the closer to the Earth's core you get? And Dr. Mercedes Durham from Cardiff University answers Evan’s question: Why do countries speak different languages?
In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Bunya Pine Tree!
In Battle of the Sciences, occupational health psychologist Craig Jackson discusses the harmful effects of prolonged space travel on the body…

0:00.0 | Hello, Explorer. It's time to throw off your regular Earth shoes and strap on those intergalactic space traveling boots because we are hopping through the universe searching out all the smart secrets in a brand new Fun Kid Science Weekly. |
0:14.9 | My name is Dan. This is the smartest show in the history of the galaxy. Hello. Bonjour, salo, coniciwa. You see, we're |
0:26.2 | talking languages today. Have you ever wondered why someone from Portugal, maybe, |
0:32.0 | doesn't speak Spanish? Different languages are spoken in different countries |
0:37.6 | Because different countries have different histories, they have different communities, they have people living there |
0:43.0 | And even if at some point the language that they spoke was the same, it's probably going to change. |
0:49.0 | We'll find out more with language genius Mercedes-Durham, who is back on the show. |
0:54.1 | Also, in Battle of the Sciences, |
0:56.6 | we're exploring the effects on space travel on your body. And what would happen if you were like |
1:03.3 | the two astronauts, Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore, who went to space for eight days, |
1:07.8 | but ended up being there for eight months. Does that surprising length of time |
1:11.9 | change anything? A spaceflight that goes on for eight months, two months longer than the usual, |
1:19.3 | starts to push the human body and mind, possibly beyond where we've pushed them before. |
1:26.1 | And for this week's Dangerous, Dan, we are looking at something massive in Australia, |
1:31.5 | the home of real deadly things. |
1:33.5 | It's on the way in a brand new fun kid science weekly. |
1:40.0 | Let's start with your science in the news. |
1:42.6 | A rare new species of two-clored dinosaur has been |
1:46.8 | discovered in Asia. The species is unique in a group called the Therazenosaurs. As it has two |
1:53.9 | claws, most of them had three. It would stand on its back legs, propping itself up, then using its |
2:00.1 | long curved claws like hooks to grasp plants high up for food. |
2:04.3 | This one, the fossils were found in Mongolia in the Gobi Desert, and it was around more than 66 million years ago. |
