Author: Fun Kids July 19, 2025 Duration: 27:54

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 the ocean!

First up, scientists have discovered a brand-new species of flying reptile that lived more than 200 million years ago. Then, we take you to Indonesia, where a volcano has erupted, sending a towering ash cloud 11 miles into the sky. And finally, Dan chats with Richard Buggs from Queen Mary University of London and Kew Gardens to learn how Britain's ash trees are fighting back against a devastating fungal disease.

Then, we answer your questions! Etta wants to know: What happens if you're stung by 100 bees and Dr. Emma Nicholls answers Jessica’s question: How do scientists know dinosaurs had feathers?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Weever fish.

 And in Battle of the Sciences, oceanographer Alessandro Silvano explains the power of the seas

What do we learn about?

· A 200 million year old flying reptile species 
· How Britain's trees are fighting back against a fungi disease
· How scientists know dinosaurs had feathers
· The Weever fish
· And in Battle of the Sciences... what lies beneath the ocean!

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!
