Coral Friends Help Each Other
Saison 1 · Épisode 69
mercredi 4 novembre 2026 • Durée 11:23
Wake Up Kids — Science News for Ages 7–9
Thursday, November 5, 2026
Ticky Tocket is back with a tasty time treat—today’s weekly ice‑cream sundae gets a “raspberry ripple firework” scoop to kick off the show!
Science Spotlight: Coral Reefs
Corals aren’t rocks or plants—they’re tiny animals called polyps. Millions of them live together and build reef “cities” that become busy homes for fish, crabs, and sea turtles.
The Problem
When ocean water gets too warm, corals get stressed and turn white, a sign called bleaching. Bleached corals are weak and can get sick more easily.
New Discovery
Scientists tried a friendly fix: they placed some bleached, sick corals next to healthy, colorful corals for a short visit. In just seven weeks, the sick corals recovered much better than corals left alone. The healthy neighbors may share helpful microbes or send chemical “cheer‑up” signals through the water.
Why It Matters
This simple, neighborly idea could help rescue coral reefs around the world and protect the sea life that depends on them.
Weather Window
Bright, sunny autumn day! Cool morning—pop on a jumper—but it’ll be mild by lunchtime. No raincoats needed.
Thought for the Day
Be a “healthy coral.” Your kindness can help someone nearby feel stronger and happier. After school, try drawing your own colorful coral reef!
Tune in to learn, laugh, and start your day bright with Wake Up Kids.
Amazing Brain, Sunny Day
Saison 1 · Épisode 68
mardi 3 novembre 2026 • Durée 10:55
Wake Up Kids: Science News for Curious Brains (Ages 7–9)
Happy Wednesday, November 4, 2026! We’re halfway up the week-mountain and adding scoop number three to our imaginary sundae: mint chocolate chip. Yum!
Science News: Your brain is amazing!
It has about 86 billion neurons with over 100 trillion connections, sending super-fast signals all the time.
It can hold a huge amount of information—like millions of hours of video!
It uses about as much power as a small lightbulb and gives off tiny flashes of light called biophotons.
Your brain is always changing and learning (neuroplasticity): practising builds new “bridges,” kids’ brains rewire extra fast, and sleep helps make new connections up to three times stronger.
Weather Wonder: The rain has cleared! Expect a bright, dry autumn day with fluffy clouds and leftover puddles. It’s chilly—grab a cozy jumper and a warm jacket.
Thought for the Day: Say, “I can’t do this yet.” Mistakes help your brain grow. Try asking one big question, draw your very own “galaxy brain,” and use your brain power to be kind and helpful.
Ticky Tocket signs off with a grin—see you tomorrow!
Wake Up Kids: Meet the Monkey with Orange Lips
Saison 1 · Épisode 67
lundi 2 novembre 2026 • Durée 11:44
Wake Up Kids: Science News — Meet the Monkey with Orange Lips!
Today’s science scoop: Scientists discovered a brand-new monkey in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
What makes it special: it has bright orange lips (like it’s wearing lipstick!) and its call sounds like a croaking frog.
How it stayed hidden: the rainforest is huge and leafy, and people may have mistaken its frog-like calls for real frogs.
Why it matters: finding new animals reminds us these forests are precious and need protecting so all creatures have a safe home.
Takeaway for kids: stay curious, listen carefully, and don’t be afraid to stand out with your own “bright colors” and unique voice.
Quick extras: It’s a rainy, chilly Tuesday—grab a waterproof coat and boots. Fun idea—draw your own brand-new jungle animal!

Meet the Fruit-Eating Dino
Saison 1 · Épisode 66
dimanche 1 novembre 2026 • Durée 11:52
Wake Up Kids — Science News for Ages 7–9
Today’s big story: meet a brand-new, turkey-sized dinosaur that only ate fruit! Scientists nicknamed it the “Hell Chicken,” and its science name is Infernogallus jamesi. It’s a small cousin of T. rex that lived about 68 million years ago.
Where did it come from? Five fossils, including a full skull, were discovered in the Hell Creek Formation in the USA. This dino was fluffy and feathered, with a long neck, big curious eyes, and a short, parrot-style face. It couldn’t fly, but it sure looked birdy!
How did it eat fruit without teeth? With a ridged beak and a bumpy roof of the mouth that worked like a lemon juicer—perfect for mashing juicy snacks.
Why it matters: This is the first fruit-eating dinosaur scientists have found! By munching fruit and pooping out seeds in new places, it helped forests grow—nature’s tiny gardener at work.
Weather vibe: Bright, dry, and chilly—grab a warm jumper, a zipped coat, and a cosy hat before you head out.
Thought for the day: Being different can make a big difference. Try drawing a fluffy fruit-eating dino or making a colorful fruit salad—and spread kindness like seeds!
Press play to wake up curious, learn something awesome, and start your day with a smile!
Mouse Maps and Tiny Backpacks
Saison 1 · Épisode 65
jeudi 29 octobre 2026 • Durée 12:28
Wake Up Kids — Science News for Curious Kids (Ages 7–9)
It’s Friday, October 30, 2026—Halloween is tomorrow! Ticky Tocket bursts in with big Friday energy to say: it’s crisp and sunny after yesterday’s rain, so bundle up for a chilly autumn day.
Today’s science scoop: scientists at Cornell University studied how mouse brains make “maps” of the world using special cells in the hippocampus—the brain’s memory and navigation helper.
The team built a super-tiny, wireless “brain backpack” called WILD. It’s lighter than a grape and saves brain signals to a little memory card. It can even record tiny mouse squeaks and track where a mouse is looking.
Nine brave mice wore the mini-pack and explored a big outdoor pen for 15 days and nights. For the first time, scientists watched “place cells” in action under the real sky—not just in small lab mazes.
Discovery time: mouse brain maps don’t just mark bushes and rocks—they also mark where mouse friends are! And after nighttime adventures, the mice’s brains replayed their journeys during naps, helping them remember new paths.
Big idea for kids: your brain builds stronger maps when you try new things. Head outside with a grown-up, explore safely, say hello to a new friend, and then draw your own treasure map—of your room, a garden, or an imaginary island. X marks the smart spot!
Wake Up Kids: A Shy New Dwarf Planet
Saison 1 · Épisode 64
mercredi 28 octobre 2026 • Durée 12:45
Wake Up Kids — Science News for Children (Ages 7–9)
Ticky Tocket kicks off a bouncy Thursday with today’s big science scoop: space!
Astronomers using the brand-new Vera C. Rubin Observatory (with a giant, super-powerful camera) spotted a large, icy object even farther from the Sun than Pluto. It’s a strong candidate for a brand-new dwarf planet with the temporary name 2026 ED138.
Quick refresher: dwarf planets orbit the Sun and are round like marbles because gravity smooshes them into shape. Famous ones you may know are Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake.
Why didn’t we see this object before? It was hiding in front of a super-crowded patch of Milky Way stars! The observatory’s repeated photos and clever computer code spotted its slow, sneaky movement—and scientists even found it peeking out in old space pictures.
What’s next: more telescope time to learn about it, and—fingers crossed—a real name coming soon!
Extra bits in today’s episode:
Rainy, windy Thursday weather tips so you stay cozy and dry.
A kind thought-of-the-day about noticing quiet things—like a shy star or a gentle friend.
Try-it-at-home fun: draw and name your very own planet! What color is it? Does it have rings? Who lives there?
Press play to explore the sky, stretch your imagination, and start your Thursday with a smile!

How to Live on the Moon
Saison 1 · Épisode 60
jeudi 22 octobre 2026 • Durée 10:46
Wake Up Kids: Science News — How Could We Live on the Moon?
It’s Friday, and Ticky Tocket kicks off a cheerful show with today’s big science news: NASA has announced a new plan called Ignition to learn how people could live on the Moon for a long time.
The Moon doesn’t have shops, rivers, or air, so scientists are testing smart solutions to help future space neighbors:
Build strong Moon houses to block space radiation.
Find frozen water in dark craters and clean it for safe use.
Grow fresh veggies in special indoor space gardens.
Make enough electricity to keep everything running.
Why it matters: These tests could help future astronauts—maybe even you one day—live, work, and explore the Moon for months or years.
Big idea of the day: When a problem feels huge, break it into smaller steps and solve them one by one.
Try it at home: Build a model Moon base with cardboard, yogurt pots, and foil. Imagine how you’d get water, food, power, and shelter—and give your base a cool name!
