	Description:		It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest! In Science in the News, a giant iceberg drifting around Arctic waters is down to its final weeks before it breaks apart completely, scientists have built a mouse-sized robot to inspect parts of the Large Hadron Collider, and Ewan Bodenham joins us to explain why he named a brand-new ancient crocodile species after his old physics teacher. Dangerous Dan is back with the scorpion mouse, a tiny but fierce creature with some seriously surprising powers. And in Battle of the Sciences, we’re digging into planetary mineralogy with Susanne Schwenzer, exploring the rocks and minerals that help scientists understand how planets are formed. Plus, in Geology Rocks, Finley travels across the world and back through time to discover how rocks, fossils and volcanoes helped shape our planet. What we learn about: • Why rainbows are curved • Why one giant Arctic iceberg is about to disappear • How a tiny robot could help scientists inspect the Hadron Collider • Why a new ancient crocodile was named after a teacher • The fierce scorpion mouse • How rocks and minerals reveal the history of planets All that and more on this week’s Science Quest!
