SHARK ATTACK: How the Ocean’s Ultimate Predator Rules the Seas 🦈🌊

Author: Fun Kids October 18, 2025 Duration: 34:04

Get ready for another deep dive into the wild, weird, and wonderful world of science on this week’s Fun Kids Science Weekly!

This week, we’re answering your burning science questions, uncovering mind-blowing discoveries, and exploring how sharks became the ocean’s ultimate predators.

In Science in the News, we discover how stress can actually make your nose colder, celebrate the green turtle’s comeback from the brink of extinction, and meet Dr. Fred Jordan, whose team is creating mini human brains to help power the computers of the future.

Then we dive into your questions: Kubi wants to know how chameleons change colour, and David Chappell explains the science behind echoes — those mysterious sounds that bounce right back at you!

Dangerous Dan is back too, and this week he’s introducing us to the Blue-tailed skink, a small but speedy reptile with some seriously cool defences.

And in Battle of the Sciences, Dan takes a trip beneath the waves with megalodon expert Jack Cooper, who reveals how sharks evolved into the world’s most efficient predators.

What do we learn about?
· How stress makes your nose colder
· The green turtle’s rescue from extinction
· Mini human brains that could power computers
· How chameleons change colour
· What causes echoes
· The blue-tailed skink lizard
· And the mighty shark, nature’s ultimate ocean hunter!

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