Hello, welcome along to the Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name is Dan. Thank you so much for listening.

I'm delighted to announce, by the way, that this is officially the greatest podcast in the universe.

Yeah, there was a podcast awards, actually, that happened on Neptune. Did you, did you not hear about it?

Yeah, I didn't manage to make it up in time, but I zoom

called in and it was worth it because we won the award. So that's what you're listening to here,

which is great because we are uncovering all the true secrets of the universe, as we always do

this week. You can take a look at one of the most fearsome birds in the sky. Also, we'll chat to an expert about a brand new book that

talks about the circle of life. And you might get your questions answered. As always, today

I'm answering them on air balloons, on breathing and on allergies. That's happening in just a sec.

Uh, hello? You're starting without me now.

Whose chemistry superhero alter ego are you?

Well, there's no time to lose. We need to act now, or some of our most useful elements just won't be around anymore. And because we need them for our gadgets,

that means your phones won't work. Serious? So, what's up? I need to introduce you to Incredible

Indium. Indium? Hey, I'm getting the hang of these. It's called Indian because it was found in India.

I'm right, aren't I? This is basic.

Wrong! Although, good guess. Elements are frequently named after the places or the people who found them,

but Indium gets its name because under certain conditions, it emits an indigo light.

That's like a purple and blue colour. Here, check it out.
