BACK FROM EXTINCTION: The Return of the Beavers 🦫🔙

Fun Kids Science Weekly

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 learn all about ecology and how it shapes everything around us!

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with the safe return of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after nine unplanned months in space. Next, we investigate a penguin in Hull that’s in the running to be crowned the best penguin in the world. Finally, Kevin Cumming from Rewilding Britain joins Dan to discuss the return of wild beavers 400 years after they became extinct in England.

Then, we answer your questions! Razzi wants to know why he has two different-colored eyes, and Dr. Aravindan Ilangovan answers Arun’s question: how is DNA made?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about submarine volcanoes.

Then, it’s time for Battle of the Sciences! Ecologist Dr. Becky Thomas uncovers the science behind how animals and their environments connect.
