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 digging up the past learning all about archaeology. 

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with a heartwarming story — the birth of two baby reindeer at a UK zoo. Next, we explore a fascinating study revealing that apes have been seen treating the wounds of their injured friends. And finally, Dan is joined by Dr. Mahesh Anand from the Open University to talk about an extraordinary gift he’s received from China — with origins that are literally out of this world.

Then, we answer your questions! Etta wants to know: Why some popcorn kernels don't pop and Tom-Joshi Cale from Exeter University answers Sebastian’s question: Will Earth ever leave the Milky Way?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Leopard seal
