How were our stone age ancestors able to watch their own movies? Archaeologist Andy Needham joins us this week to tell us exactly why.
We answer your questions on What is a turtle shell made of? And why are diamonds unbreakable?
And we are joined by Professor Hallux and Nurse Nanobot, this week its all about your ears!
An ancient croc is the topic of Dangerous Dan and we hear news of red squirrel babies and a map of the seabed this week!
Of course we are also joined by the smarted school in the universe, Deep Space High, where Pulsar teaches us all about Radioactive dating!

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to a brand new episode of The Fun Kids Science Weekly. |
0:06.4 | My name is Dan and whether you've meant to or not, you've stumbled upon the smartest show |
0:12.9 | in the history of the universe. There's been a lot of shows, been a lot of podcasts |
0:18.3 | in the history of the universe, but this is the best one ever. Thank you for being there, |
0:23.7 | thank you for listening. This week in our tour of the galaxy where we uncover all the science secrets, |
0:31.6 | you can hear all about ancient art and whether our ancestors used to watch movies just like us. |
0:38.8 | And we found that because the light isn't static, like a light bulb would give you a static light, |
0:44.0 | a naked light, sort of like a fire or a candle, the light flickers and moves around, |
0:49.2 | because the ingredients give you a negative space so they cut into the material, |
0:54.0 | it means when light casts across the surface, it crits. Also we'll head to Deep Space Highs to |
0:59.2 | find out how experts learn how old things are using something radioactive. |
1:05.2 | It's done by looking at some of the tiniest particles in the atoms of rocks. |
1:09.8 | It's called radioactivity dating. Sounds kind of complicated. It is, but there's a simple way |
1:16.2 | to explain it. Let's pop over to Greenland. It's nice and snowy there and a fancy building a |
1:21.9 | snowman. And I've got your questions to answer. As always, this week they are on turtle shells |
1:30.8 | and unbreakable diamonds. It's all on the way in a brand new fun kid science weekly. |
1:36.3 | First up this week let's crack on with our science in the news. Scientists have made the most |
1:46.4 | precise map ever of the seabed underneath Antarctica. That's the south bow. It covers 185 million |
1:53.3 | square miles and it's the first time they've ever mapped the deepest point down there. It's |
1:58.7 | called Factorian Deep. It is seven and a half thousand meters underwater and they've made this |
2:06.0 | huge map to help understand the way that the earth is changing and to help people get around. |
2:12.0 | Also, Sir David Attenborough. We like Sir David. He's been made a night of the grand cross |
