Why Do We Burp?🤭💨

Science in the news

Questions

Dangerous Dan!

Battle of the Sciences

We may have a new name but it's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!

In Science in the News, we meet an incredible 8-year-old set to become one of the youngest Britons to visit Antarctica, hear about a jaw-dropping archaeological dig uncovering two of the rarest Iron Age objects ever found, and find out how horses can actually smell fear with Roberta Blake from Anglia Ruskin University.

Got questions? We have got answers. Learn why cheetahs purr instead of roar, and hear animal expert Jackie Boyd explain why dogs and cats fight in the first place.

There is also a brand-new Dangerous Dan featuring the dinosaur Nigersaurus, and in Battle of the Sciences we shine a spotlight on the unsung hero behind every experiment, discovery, and invention: Mathematics. Neil Saunders from the University of London reveals why maths really is the language of science.

And do not miss An Age Old Problem, where Detective Mathema finally works out the age of his Great Aunt Maud using mathematics, of course.

Packed with animals, adventures, and mind-blowing science, let’s dive in.

What we learn about:


Why dogs and cats fight and what their behaviour really means


How horses can smell fear


A child visiting Antarctica and what life is like there
Why cheetahs purr instead of roar


And why mathematics is essential to all science

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