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 this week we're learning all about a musical instrument so small- you need a microscope to see it!

Dan kicks things off with the latest in science news. First, he dives into the discovery of a 43,000-year-old Neanderthal fingerprint found in a cave in Spain. Then, we hear about a mysterious new object that could be a dwarf planet making its way toward our solar system. And finally, Dan chats with Professor Kelly Morrison from Loughborough University, whose team has created the world’s tiniest violin — so small, it’s thinner than a human hair!

Then, we answer your questions! Ned wants to know: How sunflowers follow the sun and Professor Mercedes Durham from Cardiff University answers Theo’s question: How did we evolve to talk?

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Philippine eagle...

In Battle of the Sciences, zoologist Dr. Alex Dittrich from Nottingham Trent University joins us to uncover the creepy world of zombie plants
