MUMMIES UNWRAPPED: Anatomy of the Afterlife 🏺💀

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 the science of the past!

Dan kicks off with the latest science news, starting with the chances of an asteroid impacting the Moon in 2032. Next, we unpack the news that half of the world's electricity last year was generated without using any fossil fuels. And finally, Dan speaks to Keith Emerick from Historic England to uncover the secrets of a remarkable Iron Age hoard recently discovered in North Yorkshire.

Then, we answer your questions! Matty wants to know: what's hotter, a microwave or an oven? And Dr. Fabio Antonini answers Nolan’s question: where is the hottest place in the galaxy?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the dancing mania disease that took over Europe in the 15th century.

In Battle of the Sciences, Professor Michelle Spear makes the case for anatomy and explains the science of mummification!
