Fun Kids Science Quest

This Week’s Big Questions!
You’ve been sending in your brilliantly curious questions, and this week…
📡 James asks: What’s the difference between radio and satellite signals?🌍 Etta wonders: What happens if you dig to the centre of the Earth?⛽ Karis asks: What’s the difference between petrol and diesel?📡 Matty asks: Can a microwave heat food as hot as an oven?😷 Rufus asks: Why do we cough?
And get ready to jump through a worm hole to Deep Space High, your local inter-galactic school in space. Join Mrs Higgs and her class as they learn about the satellites that go round and round the Earth, with very interesting jobs!

It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!
In Science in the News, NASA is rethinking its plans for landing astronauts on the Moon, scientists believe the history of writing might be thousands of years older than we once thought, and Frederick Wilkinson from Queen Mary University of London explains why a recent boom in sea turtle numbers might not be quite as good news as it sounds.
It’s time for your questions too. Akiva wants to know why your tummy gets smaller when you breathe in, and John Bridges from Leicester University answers Nicolas' question: How are asteroids made?
Dangerous Dan introduces us to something a little different this week: the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b, a strange and fascinating world far beyond our Solar System.
Then in Battle of the Sciences, Mark Grabowski from Liverpool John Moores University steps into the ring to make the case for palaeoanthropology, the science that studies ancient humans and our evolutionary ancestors.
Plus, Harry and Terry stumble across the asteroid belt in this week’s Space Cadets adventure as they continue their accidental journey through space.
What do we learn about?
How asteroids form in space
Why NASA is changing its plans for Moon missions
Why the history of writing might be older than we thought
Why a sea turtle population boom may not be entirely good news
What happens to your body when you breathe in
The strange super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b
How scientists study ancient humans and our ancestors

It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!
In Science in the News, a rare turtle rescued in the UK begins the next stage of its recovery, scientists discover that snakes don’t get hungry in the same way humans do, and archaeologist Nataša Sarkic joins Dan to investigate the remains of a so-called “vampire” found in a grave at Račesa, a fortress in eastern Croatia.
It’s time for your questions too. Leo wants to know how chameleons change colour, and Simon Green from the Open University answers Roscoe’s big space question: just how hot is the Sun’s core?
Dangerous Dan introduces the bizarre hag moth, and in Battle of the Sciences, we head beneath the ice with glaciologist Sammie Buzzard from the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling to uncover what glaciers can teach us about our planet.
Plus, in Space Cadets, Harry and Terry blast off on an accidental adventure to the Sun to discover more about the star at the centre of our Solar System.
What we learn about:
How rescued sea turtles recover

Why snakes don’t feel hunger like humans

The truth behind a “vampire” burial in Croatia

How chameleons change colour

How hot the Sun’s core really is

The unusual hag moth

What glaciologists study beneath the ice
