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 the code of life!

Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news—starting with how levitating magnets might help crack the mystery of dark matter. Next, we explore how climate change is putting Gila monsters at risk. And finally, John Meek from Wild Planet Trust joins Dan to share the remarkable story of a lynx that could become the first zoo-born cat in the UK to be released into the wild.

Then, we answer your questions! Lola wants to know: Where water came from and Megan Howard from Cotswolds Wildlife answers Ruben’s question: How do animals make poison?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Death Camas plant.

In Battle of the Sciences, we explore the hidden code of life with chronobiologist Dr. Timothy Hearn from the University of Cambridge.
