GOLDFISH MYTH: The Truth About Their 3-Second Memory🐠🧠

It's time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!

In Science in the News, NASA is preparing to launch the Artemis 2 mission, sending astronauts around the Moon for the first time in 50 years. UK beekeepers report worrying losses this winter, and Elena Hoicka from the University of Bristol joins Dan to explore the surprising news that babies may begin learning to lie from a very young age!

It’s time for your questions too. Clem wants to know how weather forecasts work, and Cait Newport from Oxford University answers Apolline’s question about whether or not Goldfish really do have a three-second memory.

Dangerous Dan introduces the Oak Processionary Caterpillar, a creature you definitely do not want to get too close to.

And in Battle of the Sciences, Dr Christopher Terrell-Nield takes us deep into the fascinating world of cave biology and the life that thrives in total darkness.

Plus, Kareena and K-Mistry head to the British Museum to discover the chemistry behind prehistoric cave art.

What we learn about:

• Whether goldfish really have a three-second memory
• How weather forecasts are made
• NASA’s Artemis 2 mission to the Moon
• Why bees are disappearing in the UK
• Whether babies can learn to lie
• The oak processionary caterpillar
• How animals survive in caves
• The chemistry behind prehistoric cave art

All that and more on this week’s Science Quest!
