Hopes for peace in Iran; footy player breaks most games record; the galaxy that ate another; and bringing dino-birds back from extinction.

Scientists are hoping to bring the giant moa back from extinction using super-clever artificial eggshell technology.

The Great Barrier Reef - From the Vault
2026/05/23 | 11 mins.
This weekend, we’re heading beneath the waves to explore one of the most extraordinary places on Earth... Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

In this classic Squiz Kids Shortcut, Bryce and Amanda unpack why the reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world, what coral reefs actually are (spoiler: coral is alive!), and why scientists are worried this incredible underwater ecosystem could be in trouble.

Along the way, discover a dazzling world packed with turtles, whales, sharks, clownfish, coral spawning, tiny creatures called polyps, and more biodiversity than you can poke a snorkel at.

Perfect for curious kids who love the ocean, animals, science… or just really cool facts.

Hosted by Bryce Corbett and Amanda Bower

What would happen if an asteroid the size of a blue whale hit Earth? Science Short
2026/05/22 | 4 mins.
A blue-whale-sized asteroid zoomed surprisingly close past Earth this week... so naturally, we had questions.

Would it wipe out humanity? Trigger a dinosaur-style disaster? Smash into the ocean and cause giant tsunamis? Or explode in the sky before it even reached the ground?

In this week’s Squiz Kids Science Short, we unpack what would actually happen if an asteroid about the size of a blue whale hit Earth, why where it lands matters, the giant explosion over Russia that flattened millions of trees, and how scientists are already protecting Earth by tracking space rocks and even nudging them off course.

Space science, giant explosions, dinosaurs, NASA and asteroid-bumping experiments? Yep. This one’s a beauty.
