Letter allowance and family holidays

Baird is frustrated – his parents have been to lots of places, but he’s only ever been to London. Dad says many trips were before Baird was born. What can be done? Turns out, even a Holiday Inn sounds fun! Meanwhile, Sisters Elsie and Isabel are at odds. Elsie is a prolific letter-writer, sliding up to 100 notes under Isabel’s door, despite their rooms being three meters apart! Isabel’s complaint: It’s repetitive, distracting, and sometimes she just bins the notes. But maybe letter writing is also a handwriting helper?

Screen time at the table and showtime all-the-time

Who controls screen time at dinner time? Brothers Teddy and Percy are fed up: all they want is to watch The Simpsons with their spaghetti, but their parents say iPads are off the table! But is it fair when Mum and Dad are glued to their own phones, scrolling away? Even Grandma Sheila is called to the stand... Plus, when does a joke stop being funny? Mia is desperate for a straight answer to “What time is it?” But Mum Lisa can only reply with a Hamilton-inspired “It’s showtime!” With Dad now in on the act and the ‘funny’ reply spreading through the house, Mia’s had enough. Is Mum’s joy worth Mia’s frustration – or will Judge Bex mandate a full musical performance for every joke crack? Whose side are YOU on? Should parents have to follow the same rules as kids when it comes to screens at dinner? And when do family jokes finally wear out their welcome? Connor and Lauren join Judge Bex in chambers to weigh up phone etiquette, tricksy grown-ups, surprise relatives, and households where every minute really could be showtime.

Cringe jokes and messy desks

Stefano doesn’t appreciate his mum Francesca’s jokes and wants them to stop. Francesca claims her humour is genetic and can’t help making cracks about lamb at Easter... Judge Bex prescribes a household stand-up comedy competition with the fate of joke-telling hanging in the balance. Meanwhile. Tess’s desk is an alleged disaster zone, but she claims it’s organised chaos. Mum insists on tidiness, but is her own “bench of clothes” setting the best example – if she’s expected to tidy, mum should practice what she preaches! Is it ever okay for parents to make cringe jokes? Should 'messy desk, creative mind' override 'tidy house, tidy mind'? Got a family disagreement of your own?

Welcome back to the Fun Kids Science Mid-weekly! You've been sending in your questions and this week... Why can birds fly while we can’t? Why do animals have such different shaped eyes?
