Author: Fun Kids July 26, 2025 Duration: 29:17

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 pain!

First up, scientists have cracked the code on how and why we sweat—get ready to be surprised! Then, we’re blasting off to the outer solar system to explore a ground-breaking discovery about the mysterious planet Uranus. And finally, Dan is joined by James Veale, a drilling engineer with the British Antarctic Survey, fresh from Antarctica where he helped recover a million-year-old ice core.

Then, we answer your questions! Sean wants to know: How hot the Earth's core is and Dr. Stuart Cohen answers Iris’ question: why does our skin go red when skin is burnt?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Armadillo Lizard.

 And in Battle of the Sciences, we delve into the science of pain with Laurenz Casser from Sheffield University.

What do we learn about?

· An fascinating new discovery about Uranus.
· We’ll learn how a 1.5-million-year-old ice core reveals Earth’s hidden past.
· Why our skin turns red when burnt
· The Armadillo Lizard
· And in Battle of the Sciences... the science of pain!

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!
