Summary

Ho to the power of three, it's a Christmas Eve episode of Science Weekly! This week Dan chats to neuroscientist Daniel Cameron about what makes us move... can a rhythm inspire a dance? How about low frequencies? And why is dancing something human beings love to do?? It's not like eating, which keeps us alive. Do we just do it for fun? Or is there something else going on...

Dangerous Dan reveals the sinister side of the beloved and festive mistletoe, Tom tells his sister Curious Kate all about the clever abilities of electric vehicles, and Santamory examines the aerodynamics needed for Santa's travels around the world!

Have a very merry Christmas from everyone here at Science Weekly!

Well, a very merry Christmas, a hoi, and I was thinking, right before the big man, Santa

0:07.8

comes and hopefully gives you your presents Christmas morning. Why don't we have one quick

0:11.4

spin around the solar system? This is The Fun Kids Science Weekly.

0:17.4

My name's Dan, thank you for being there, thank you for listening, for sharing, for downloading.

0:22.7

Every week we come together to talk about the most amazing things that are lurking in

0:26.1

the universe, although science secrets there there, we shall uncover them. This week, we'll

0:31.6

learn all about moving and shaking. Why you dance with science genius Dan Cameron, he's

0:38.9

on because it's all about that bass. Now we're interested in what it is about music that

0:43.9

makes us want to move along to it. How is it that we can move our bodies so easily when

0:48.6

we hear music? Also, because it's Christmas, we'll learn how far the Christmas is slay,

0:55.3

all around the world, how we have to look at current slipstreams and air, how it's all

1:00.8

about aerodynamics. When something like an aeroplane or a slay moves through the air, every

1:07.6

part of it generates drag. This makes it harder for it to travel forward. It's the job

1:11.6

of designers, or in my case elves, to make sure that the shape of the vehicle generates

1:16.7

as little drag as possible. And I've got your questions, as always, this week they are

1:21.3

on clouds while they flow. And how was TV invented? We'll find out in a brand new

1:27.4

fun kid science weekly, stay there. We kick off your fun kid science weekly with your

1:34.1

science in the news. Now the most important European satellite of 2022 has gone into orbit.

1:41.5

Meteosat 12, which is a really good sci-fi satellite name, is that it blasted off from a

1:46.4

spaceport in French Guyana to start a new era of weather forecasting. It will look at

1:52.2

the Earth's atmosphere to predict weather better. Now this is really important. We're going

1:56.4

through a time of huge climate change. We've seen that here in the UK this year. And it's
