Alright, my name's Dan, it's the part of the week where we take a quick trip through the entire universe

0:06.0

and get you back home before anyone's really worried that you're missing.

0:10.0

This week, the Fun Kid Science Weekly is sponsored by Beaker Creatures from Learning Resources,

0:15.0

and on the way, in the only show that takes you right inside the secrets of the very galaxy,

0:20.0

will find out how

0:20.9

chameleons change colour. Also, we'll dive into the ocean to take a look at one of the most

0:26.8

deadly snakes in the sea. And we'll find out how hyenas manage to live through the ice age.

0:33.5

Also, I've got some shoutouts and some of your questions to answer in just a sec. First,

0:41.0

let's catch up with one of our favourite geniuses on the Fun Kid Science Weekly.

0:42.5

This is Professor Hallex.

0:45.0

Hallex's Hydration Help Desk.

0:46.2

Call accepted.

0:51.5

Hello, Professor. I read that one in ten people on Earth don't have access to clean drinking water.

0:53.4

Why can't we just make more in a laboratory?

1:00.5

Ah, thought-provoking question there. Well, the short answer is we can make water. On cold days when the windows have misted up, we're doing it without even trying. The difficult part

1:05.7

is making enough to provide a source of drinking water. Loads of scientists though are working on ways to make

1:11.7

more drinkable water. Let's check it out. I've already mentioned mist on windows. That mist is made up

1:18.2

of tiny drops of water which have condensed out of the air when they hit the cold glass. That's why

1:23.9

it's called condensation. Condensation is water and the process can be carried out on a bigger scale.

1:30.5

Fog harvesters have been built in Ethiopia to catch the mist.

1:34.3

They look like huge sheets of mesh.

1:37.0

And the water droplets they trap are stored in tanks, literally making water from thin air.
