In this week's show we answer three questions from Bee, Rose and Alex with help from special guest expert Sam Lee.Sam is a folk singer and writer – author of the book The Nightingale, Notes on a Songbird – who leads adventures into the woods to play music with nightingales as they sing. Sam tells us about how nightingales sing at night, unlike most other birds and tells us about their beautiful song. Then we have a competition for you to win a copy of Sam's book for a grown up in your life!We find out why peacocks make such loud calls, because of where they come from scrubby woodland in India. We also chat about frogs, tadpoles, how they swim and the biggest ones in the world! Check out Mel Kids here and try a subscription using the code SUN: https://melscience.com/GB-en/kids/sets/If you're wondering 'Why a Subscription?', well guess what - we asked an expert and this is what they said:'Subscriptions encourage spaced repetition which is critical for learning. A 1-time science box if fun, but it won't change a child's mindset or behaviour. For that we need to develop a habit of doing science on a regular basis. This is the real benefit of a MEL Science subscription, a regular hands-on kit, well explained, with interesting extra investigations and visualisations around it to develop scientific thinking. Over 9-12 months, kid's brains develop the confidence to inspect their world scientifically. How to think like a scientist and apply the scientific method is the core skill we are trying to develop.'Social media:Instagram: @everythingunderthesunpodTwitter: @everythingutsFacebook: @everythingunderthesunbyMollyOldfieldWebsite: www.everythingunderthesun.co.ukFind out how to submit an answer on our website.Molly Oldfield studied History at Oxford before becoming a QI elf, writing and researching questions for the BBC quiz show for twelve years.
