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 kick off our bigger and better podcast and we'll put YOUR questions to our team of experts, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about what's so amazing about a new-born great white shark!

Dan starts with the latest science news, where we learn about a brand new £12 million SUPER collider, a unique species of flying reptile from 168 million years ago, and Jules Bernstein, from the University of California Riverside, joins us to explain the phenomenon behind a new-born great white shark found it's waters by one of their students.

Then we delve into your questions where Dan answers Charlotte's query on how sound comes out of mouths and then we pose Francis' question on how telephones work to Marshall Brain from How Stuff Works!

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Oarfish - the boniest fish alive!

A brand new feature on the podcast kicks off with 'The Battle of the Sciences' where Dan chats to Professor John Quinton all about why soil science is the best! Then Kareena, our chemistry superhero, teaches all all bout the role soil plays in our daily lives and the chemistry behind it!

What do we learn about?

- A new £12 billion pound super collider

- The newborn great white shark spotted in California, USA

- How phones work without a wire?

- The Oarfish, better known as 'The Doomsday Fish'

- Why soil is the best type of science?

0:41.0	Then it's going to go through an undersea cable under the Atlantic Ocean, a fiber optic
0:45.6	cable.
0:46.6	This is going to go across the United States to wherever it needs to go on another fiber optic
0:51.4	cable. And then it's going to get converted back into radio
0:56.8	waves at the tower over here in my neighborhood and then it's going to hit myself up. And we'll have experts battling it out to prove their science is the best.
1:08.0	Starting it off by heading underground.
1:11.0	We all need soil, We all depend upon the food that comes from
1:16.0	soil. I think it's around 95% of our food is grown in soil and we without that

1:43.0	Let's kick things off with your science in the news.
1:48.0	Researchers at the world's biggest particle accelerator in Switzerland have come up with an idea for a new one, a much larger super collider.
1:56.5	Its aim is to discover new particles that they think would revolutionize physics and lead to a much bigger understanding of how the universe works.
