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 how a UK scientist is using drone technology to save Madagascar's forests

Dan starts with the latest science news, why the world's biggest iceberg is spinning in the ocean, what rare animal Chester Zoo is celebrating the birth of and Jenny Williams from Kew's Royal Botanical Gardens tells us how her cutting edge use of drone and satellite technology is helping battle deforestation in Madagascar.

Then we delve into your questions where Dan explains what would happen to a human in space without a space suit & Daniel Mills from the University of Lincoln answers Claudia's question on why dogs have different types of ears?

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Viper Shark

The Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Lucien Heurtier from Kings College London about why Particles Physics is the best kind of science?

What do we learn about?

- Why the world's biggest iceberg is spinning in the ocean

- The extremely rare creature that's birth is being celebrated at Chester Zoo

- How drones are helping save Madagascar's forests

- Why dogs have different types of ears?

- Is Particle Physics the best type of science?

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!

0:00.0	Hello Explorer, welcome to the only show that zips you around the universe at about half an hour,
0:04.8	gets you back safe and sound armed with loads more science secrets.
0:10.1	My name's Dan, this is the Fun Kids Science Weekly.
0:13.2	This week will answer a huge question,
0:18.5	one that I know you've always wondered.
0:20.0	Why do dogs have different ears?
0:23.0	The different shapes that go with a sort of sticky up ear
0:27.7	perhaps help to emphasize different frequencies.
0:31.1	So something like a German Shepherd probably can hear across a very wide
0:34.3	range. We also know that the size of the dog perhaps affects the hearing.
0:40.4	Also we'll get incredibly smart with Battle of the Sciences this week, and we've had geniuses on before,
0:46.7	but this time out, it's all about particle physics.
0:50.5	I get to think about stuff like dark matter, string theory, black holes, the universe, notions
0:59.4	that usually people only think about when they watch a science fiction movie.
1:02.8	And we'll head down to the deepest parts of the ocean to try and spot a truly
1:08.3	terrifying beast. You'll need to keep your eyes peeled though. Get ready. It's a new fun kids science weekly.
1:18.5	We'll start with your science in the news and something remarkable is happening to the world's biggest iceberg.
1:24.6	For months now, A23A has been spinning on the spot just north of Antarctica
1:31.5	when really it should be racing along Earth's most powerful
1:34.5	ocean current. Now this frozen block is massive it's bigger than many cities and
1:39.2	scientists think that it's been captured on top of a huge spinning column a cylinder of
1:46.2	water. It's a phenomenon that ocean scientists call a Taylor column and it's
