This Week’s Big Questions!

You’ve been sending in your brilliantly curious questions, and this week…

🚂 Aleena wants to know: Why are steam trains so slow?
☄️Dylan is wondering: How fast was the meteor that killed the dinosaurs?
🛁 Alfie asks: Why do our fingers go wrinkly in the bath?
🐝 Simon wants to know: Why is there no king bee?
🪨 Owen is curious: What is the hardest type of rock?
🌈 Cherry asks: How are rainbows made?

And we travel back to the Jurassic period, which existed between 144 and 180 million years ago. It was a time when plant life began to flourish as the newly formed oceans brought rain to many parts of the world that had previously been nothing more than dry deserts.
