Dinner in Zero Gravity: The Weird Science of Space Food 🍕👨‍🚀

Fun Kids Science Weekly

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 what would happen if the Sun disappeared!

We start with Science in the News... First up, we dissect Michele Dougherty appointment as the new Astronomer Royal — the first woman ever to hold the role. Then, we look at a new satellite launched to help scientists keep a closer eye on Earth’s changing climate. And finally, Dan speaks to James Horsey from the British Pest Control Association to find out why wasps are making a strong comeback this summer after several quiet years.

Then, we answer your questions! Etta wants to know: what would happen if the Sun disappeared, and reserve astronaut Meganne Christian answers Sean's 'Why do astronauts need space food?'

In Dangerous Dan, we learn all about the Giant Water Bug!

And in Battle of the Sciences, we investigate a killer fungus with cellular biologist Carolyn Elya.

What do we learn about?
