MECHANICAL MINDS: The Wonders of Mechanical Engineering 🧠⚙️
It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly! This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about whether or not animals have fingerprints. Dan starts with the latest science news where we learn what people are being asked to do to support hedgehogs this winter, we uncover a new species which has made its way into Europe and why it’s causing so much trouble, and finally, Dan chats to Edward Martin from the University of Edinburgh to uncover a new way of tackling wildlife decline. We then delve into your questions where Dan explains why birds can stand on an electric fence without being electrocuted and Simona Francese from Sheffield Hallam University answers Rory’s question on whether animals have fingerprints. Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Rusty-spotted cat. And Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Sam Cullen from Brunel University on why mechanical engineering is the best kind of science. What do we learn about? · What people are being asked to do to support hedgehogs this winter · A new species causing havoc in Europe · Whether or not animals have fingerprints · How birds avoid electrocution · Is mechanical engineering the best type of science?
