Hello, welcome along, switch on your brains, turn them up loud. My name's Dan, and this is the Fun Kid Science Weekly.

It's the only show around that takes the sneakiest peak at all the secrets of the universe.

Now, this week we'll learn about one mysterious fishes mega journey through the ocean.

Also, we'll talk about an insect with the most brutally evil and devastating name that you could ever imagine.

That's on the way.

And I've got some shout-outs to do and some questions to answer. If you've left us a review on Apple Podcasts, I might say

hello in just a sec. First, let's help our alien mates get back home. This is NNG.

Energy's Meet a Motivator. Hey guys, you know all about energy, right?

help. Ah, great question. It's all to do with preventing waste. You sound like my grand. She hates

wasting anything, least of all energy, always telling me to put a jumper on instead of turning

up the heating. Are you sure she's not one of the think-ranglers from Cerebra 9?

She sounds awfully clever for an earthling.

That might explain a lot.

So what's that got to do with a smart meter?

Smart meters can help you see how much energy you're using.

How and when?
