How to Save Your Chips This Summer: Outsmarting Seagulls with Science 🍟👁️

Welcome to Science Quest! 🧪 This week, we’re scrubbing in for surgery at the zoo, outsmarting some hungry beach birds, and taking a multi-year road trip to Saturn!

What Do We Learn About?

🦌 The Big Homecoming: After years in the Czech Republic, four critically endangered Mountain Bongos have officially landed back home in Kenya to help save their species from extinction.
🍟 Save Your Chips: Laura Kelley from the University of Exeter explains the "Eye-Trick." 👁️ Find out how drawing eyes on your food packaging can trick seagulls into thinking they’re being watched, keeping your beach snacks safe!
🐝 The Queen’s Hive: Sammy asks why bees have a Queen but no King...
🪐 Saturn Road Trip: Simon Green from the Open University joins us to answer Aria’s question: How long does it take to fly to Saturn? (Pack a lot of snacks—it’s a long way!)
🌊 Deep Sea Secrets: Marine Biologist Alex Rogers enters the Brain Box to describe the alien world beneath the waves, from glowing coral gardens to submarine mountains.

And join Harry and Terry as they accidentally rocket past the moon and head straight for the jewel of the solar system! This week, the boys discover why Saturn would float in a giant bathtub and try to count all of its spectacular rings. Will they make it back in time for lunch, or are they stuck in orbit? 🛰️
