About this episode

In this episode, we're answering your questions! We'll learn why some animals use poop to build their homes—and whether it smells terrible, explore why cars need gas and oil, the science behind rising muffins, the importance of math, and why hair turns gray as we age. We'll also take a look at why siblings can sometimes be annoying, touching on psychology and life skills. Plus, we've sprinkled in surprising facts about gasoline, muffins, and even some quirky poop trivia to keep things interesting. So whether you're in bed, in the car, or enjoying some quality science time, let's jump into our first question!
