Listen to the last episode:
It’s time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!
In this episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly, we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out to determine which science is the best, and this week we're learning all about life!
First, we track down a 65-million-pound satellite that's gone missing in space. Then, we explore an incredible exoplanet image captured by the James Webb Telescope. And finally, biologist, Hannah Vineer from Liverpool University, explains the impact of the flesh eating fly spreading across North America.
Then, we answer your questions! Ben wants to know: How do clouds make rain and Dr. Robert Mahen from Leicester University answers William’s question: How do bodies grow?
In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Musk Ox!
And in Battle of the Sciences, philosopher Walter Veit explains the meaning of life.
What do we learn about?
· A lost £65 million satellite in space
· A flesh eating fly causing havoc in North America
· How clouds make rain
· How YOUR body grows
· And in Battle of the Sciences... the meaning of life!
All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!
