SAND vs WATER: The Ultimate Earth Showdown! 💧🏖️

Get ready to blast off into another episode of Fun Kids Science Weekly — packed with space tech, creepy creatures, and the biggest mysteries of the planet!

This week, we’re tackling YOUR science questions, discovering the future of rocket power, and diving into some of the strangest science stories making headlines.

In Science in the News, an endangered spider makes an unexpected comeback, and scientists are scratching their heads after the waters of the North Pacific recorded their warmest summer ever — but no one knows why! Plus, Dr Luke Tilley from the Royal Entomological Society joins Dan to explain how the European praying mantis has suddenly turned up in Cornwall.

We’ll also be answering some of your big questions — Judy wants to know what’s the longest you can go without sleep, and mathematician Thomas Woolley settles one of the greatest science debates ever: are there more grains of sand or drops of water on Earth?

Dangerous Dan is back too, and this time he’s uncovering one of the most explosive substances ever discovered — azidoazide azide!

And in Battle of the Sciences, Dan is joined by Aaron Knoll from Imperial College London to explore plasma propulsion — the rocket technology that could take us further into space than ever before.

What do we learn about?
• The European praying mantis spotted in Cornwall
• Why the North Pacific Ocean had its warmest summer on record
• The future of space travel using plasma propulsion
• The science behind grains of sand and drops of water
• The dangerously powerful Azidoazide Azide

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