Get ready for another amazing journey through the world of science with Dan on the Fun Kids Science Weekly!

This week, we’re answering your burning questions, digging into the science that shapes our planet, and uncovering some seriously strange discoveries from around the world.

In Science in the News, we learn why scientists in the UK are trying to turn part of a desert in Northern India green, mosquitoes have been spotted in Iceland for the very first time, and Dan explores the Nobel Prize-winning chemistry discovery that’s being compared to a real-life version of Harry Potter’s enchanted bag!

We’ll also be tackling your questions — 'PodcastGuy14' (not his real name) wants to know why some ticks have Lyme disease, and Ben Rowson from Museum Wales reveals the incredible science behind how snails make their shells!

Then, Dangerous Dan is back with a creature that’ll make you squirm — the African eye worm!

And in Battle of the Sciences, Dan travels back in time with archaeologist Lucy Shipley to uncover how the secrets of the past are being brought to light.

Plus, in Kitchen Chemistry, we discover the secret behind non-stick frying pans — and what makes Teflon so special!

What do we learn about?
· Snail shells, Lyme disease, and creepy crawlies
· Deserts turning green and mosquitoes in icy places
· Magical chemistry, ancient archaeology, and the African eye worm

All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!
