Summary

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

This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about why we burp!

Dan starts with the latest science news where we discover how much dinosaur fossils have recently sold for at auction, what our galaxy looked like when it was first formed and finally, Marie Weech from Kew Gardens joins Dan to explain their plans to digitise their dried plant and fungal specimens.

We then answer your questions, Ned wants to know if blackholes are harmless and Daniel Sifrim from Queen’s Mary’s University answers why we burp.

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about Kilauea volcano in the middle of the Pacific.

And Battle of the Sciences is all about consumer psychology as Cathrine Jansson-Boyd explains why we buy things.

What do we learn about?

· What our galaxy looked like when it was formed.

· Whether or not blackholes are harmless

· Why we burp

· An ancient and deadly volcano in the middle of the Pacific

0:00.0	It's a brand new year with brand new parts of the universe to discover.
0:05.8	Let's go exploring. It's a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
0:10.6	My name is Dan. This is the show that searches out all those secrets lurking around the solar system.
0:17.3	We find out what's what, who's who, and who on earth is that?
0:21.8	We've got so much brilliant science to explore through 2025, so let's get to it.
0:28.0	This week, we will answer a very gassy question that you've sent in.
0:33.2	We'll figure out why we burp.
0:35.5	Well, we burp because we swallow air into the stomach and every time that we
0:43.6	eat or drink or swallow, that air comes through the food pipe into the stomach. Also, our
0:51.8	Battle of the Sciences takes us inside your mind and we'll have a look at
0:56.1	what shops do to make us buy stuff. It's fascinating because we actually get to learn about
1:03.4	everyday life-to-life behaviours. We can explain why someone buys something. We can explain why
1:09.4	they don't buy it.
1:18.8	And our dangerous Dan is a volcano that wants erupted for 35 years. Let's get cracking for 2025 in a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly. We'll start with your science in the news.
1:26.6	Fossils from a trio of dinosaurs have sold for more than 12 million pounds at an auction.
1:31.3	The prehistoric skeletons, which date back around 150 million years,
1:36.3	fetched just over 12.4 million pounds at an auction in London.
1:41.3	All three of the skeletons, two allosaurus's and one Stegiosaurus were excavated from the same site in London. All three of the skeletons, two allosaurus and one Stegiosaurus were
1:45.3	excavated from the same site in America and they traveled to London in 12 crates where they were
1:51.3	rebuilt. Now this is amazing. There are no complete dinosaur skeletons. So all three of these
1:56.5	fossils have been enhanced with 3D printed, sculpted materials that kind of fill out the gaps
2:04.2	between the bones. Now I love the idea of maybe having my own dinosaur one day, but a lot of
