  • A SECRET PLANET might exist in OUR Solar System!!!
    Welcome, Science Explorer! Ready to get clued up on all the amazing maths, chemistry, physics and general awesomeness that surrounds us this week? Yes? Then let's get into it!  Astronomy expert Colin Stuart writes books about some interesting science conundrums, such as how we could live on Mars or travel backwards in time. Dan wants to know how he comes up with such brilliant questions, and how we might go about researching and answering them!  Staying close to home for Dangerous Dan, you'll meet a yellow-tailed scorpion and find out their history in the UK! Your science questions are answered (why IS water see-through?) and NASA's James Webb telescope might have found a sign of life on a distant planet! Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Welcome aboard the Science Weekly rocket! Dan is your captain and the destination is the far corners of the galaxy!  Climate expert Nicola Davies is here to talk about the unique ways in which animals will be affected by climate change. Her new book, Protecting the Planet: The Season of Giraffes, is on the shortlist for this year’s Children's Writing on Nature and Conservation Awards! She's telling Dan all about climate change from a giraffe's point of view, and what we can do to help these beautiful animals as we all try and slow down the effects of climate change.  You've been sending in your science questions, and this week you'll find out how to stay safe in a rocket and how your body fights viruses!

  • DARK MATTER... what is it? Could the Euclid Mission help us to understand it?
    If you've ever wondered how the universe works, you are not alone. In fact, this is a question humanity has been trying to answer since... forever! One huge science mystery is dark matter. We can tell it's there because of the way light bends around in space, and scientists think it could hold the key to many science secrets. That's why the Euclid Mission is underway to study dark matter in the universe, and Dhara Patel from the National Space Centre is here to tell us all about it!  You've been asking away and Dan has been doing some science digging to answer your questions! How do time zones work, and what's a blue supermoon? And WHAT is a zombie worm?!

  • You could play football ON THE MOON! 🌑
    All aboard the rocket ship into space! It's that time of the week where Dan ventures out and finds all the science secrets lurking around the universe. This week, Sophie Harker from the Institution of Engineering and Technology is telling us how we could play football on the moon! There's a lunar rule book full of ways to adapt to the harsh conditions of space, AND if you're 4-13 years old you can design the official Moon United football kit! For your chance to have your design chosen as the winner, enter here. India made history with the first moon mission to land on the South Pole of the moon, you want to know if there are colours we can't see (and how do we know if there are?), and there's a deadly mushroom with a VERY cool name in Dangerous Dan. Destroying Angel, I think I saw them at Glastonbury...Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Broken trunk? There's an app for that!  In science news, Harrison Ford has yet ANOTHER animal named after him! First an ant and then a snake, Harrison is now the namesake of a new species of snake in Peru. We also set out to answer some of your questions, like why are yawns contagious? You better not be yawning listening to this!   Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
