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 secret to staying young.

Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news. First up, a surprising discovery — killer whales caught on camera giving each other massages! Then, we zoom out to the cosmos with a powerful new telescope in Chile that's captured some truly breath-taking images of deep space. And finally, Professor Samantha Ward, an expert in zoo animal welfare, joins Dan to explain the big changes coming to zoo standards across the UK.

Then, we answer your questions! Leo wants to know: Why people are allergic to different things and Dr. Jackie Boyd from Nottingham Trent University answers Benji's question: Can animals laugh?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Cookie Cutter Shark!

In Battle of the Sciences, sports scientist, Daniele Magistro, joins Dan to reveal the secret to staying young.
