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 about why the rainbow only has seven colours!

First, we reveal a surprising fact about the world’s oldest boomerang — it doesn’t come back!
Next, we meet a brand-new dinosaur that’s just been discovered. And finally, John Pinnegar from CEFAS joins us to explain how warmer weather is drawing endangered sharks to UK waters.

Then, we answer your questions! Etta wants to know: Why we need food and Richard Bowman answers Marcus' question- Why does the rainbow only have seven colours?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Pacman Frog

What do we learn about?
