Hello, hello, hello. You're listening to a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly.

Thank you so much for being here, giving us a listen. My name is Dan. This is a quick trip all around the universe

to see all the crazy stuff that's inside. I've been thinking it's actually, you know around Christmas,

right, when you get those massive tubs of sweets and they're all random. You've got some caramels in

there, you've got like coconut things, you've got those disgusting strawberry creams.

Well, this is kind of like that for science. You see, it covers all basis.

It's everything that you ever want, all the amazing, epic and deadly stuff from around the

universe in one place. Today we're chatting to a proper scientist who is written a cookbook

where each recipe is a different experiment that you can do at home.

Also, we'll talk about the secret of ancient Egyptian mummification,

and you can hear about one of the smallest but most dangerous creatures in the ocean.

That's on the way after we get your gadget questions answered with a brand new episode of Technomum.

Technomum, engineering explorum! Engineering Explorers.

How are you getting on? I bought the vacuum cleaner up.

I only hope it's strong enough to cope.

Never mind the hoovering. Why can't someone invent a machine to do all the tidying?

Maybe you could invent one yourself. It's a real job, you know, making new machines.

You mean I could be a robotic slave overlord, creating an army of mechanoids to do my bidding?
