Summary

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 this week we're learning all about rocket science!

Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news—beginning with a breakthrough in a decades-old mystery involving ginger cats, finally solved earlier this week. Then, we head to a UK zoo to celebrate the birth of two incredibly rare baby lemurs. And finally, Dan is joined by Mark Owen from the Angling Trust to dive into a serious issue: why river levels across the UK are so low this spring—and what that could mean for your water supply.

Then, we answer your questions! Karis wants to know: What's the difference between petrol and diesel and Dr. Matilda Brindle from the University of Oxford answers Lily’s question: Were humans once monkeys?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Blue Poison Dart Frog

In Battle of the Sciences, rocket scientist, Dr. Minkwan Kim from Southampton University, joins Dan to explain how we get to space!

What do we learn about?
