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 on top of all that... Dan has a MASSIVE announcement to tell you all.

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with the European Space Agency's mission to weigh the world's trees using a satellite. Next, we learn about a discovery made by archaeologists in Scotland that proves the existence of an ancient civilisation. And finally, Megan Quail from Aberystwyth University joins Dan to discuss her study showing that goats are smarter than sheep and alpacas.

Then, we answer your questions! Etta wants to know: Why do frogs croak? And Professor David Pyle from the University of Oxford answers Shaan's question: How do volcanoes erupt?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Horse Hair Worm—creepy and deadly!

In Battle of the Sciences, we hear from the incredible Tree Sisters, a group on a mission to protect our planet and fight climate change one tree at a time.

What do we learn about?
