In this episode, we’ll explore fascinating science questions sent in by  kids around the world! Declan (age 6) and Eva (age 4) will help us discover how Sleep Tight Science learns so many things—and why curiosity, research, and asking great questions are at the heart of how scientists think. Alejandro (age 3) will ask why we can’t eat candy for breakfast, and we’ll find out what our bodies really need to grow, think, and feel our best. Ethan from Indonesia will lead us into the science of smells—why some are delightful and others not-so-much—and we’ll learn how our nose and brain work together to make sense of it all. And Keluna from Botswana asks the question of why eggs are so slimy inside, revealing how nature uses clever chemistry to protect life.
