0:00.0	Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping
0:04.4	in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children
0:10.0	who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them
0:15.3	with the help of a magical map and a very special gift. Of course, this leads to epic, unexpected
0:21.9	adventures. Witchway to Anywhere, and its sequel, Witchway Round the Galaxy, are both available
0:27.5	to buy now. Happy reading! Hello, welcome along. It's a brand new episode of The Fun Kids Science
0:35.4	Weekly. My name's Dan. You join me on a trip through the universe to search out all the really
0:42.0	serious and silly science stuff that's lurking all around the solar system, and this week
0:47.8	it's a double guest special. The Blavatinik Award for Young Scientist winners have been announced
0:53.2	to celebrate incredible experts who have thought outside the box for science, and we've got two
0:58.2	on the show. One has looked into how Volcanoes affect climate change. A lot of these eruptions
1:06.3	also emit chemical species, and one of them, one of the key species, is what we call
1:12.0	Sofa Dioxide. So this is not volcanic ash, but there's Sofa Dioxide. The other has been exploring
1:19.4	how bats can help us understand human speech. We have a little bat recording studios that the bats
1:25.8	go into little soundproof chambers. So that's coming up, and we'll have a look at how different types
1:33.6	of beasts ate in this week's age of the dinosaurs. Look out! Here comes a well-known carnivore,
1:43.2	the Megalosaurus. So there's all that loads more including your questions in a brand new fun kid
1:51.1	science weekly. Let's kick off this week's show with your science in the news. Fossils of a four-legged
1:58.9	duck-build dinosaur have stumped scientists for ages because there was a strange snap in one of
2:06.3	the bones. This creature lived 68 million years ago. An experts have ran tests to figure out why
2:12.8	it snapped, and they figured out that the dinosaur was standing on its back legs, maybe eating,
2:19.0	reaching or chilling, when it fell over and broke its wrist. And that's why it's in a couple of
