Sharks: Replacing Fear with Wonder

Scared of sharks? A lot of people are.

Tonight on The Bedtime Scientist, I take one of the most feared animals on Earth and look at what sharks are actually like.

We'll learn how sharks have survived for more than four hundred million years, how they sense movement through dark water, why the ocean depends on them, and how some sharks can live for centuries beneath Arctic ice.

Along the way, fear starts changing shape.

Not disappearing completely, maybe.

But turning into something steadier.

Wonder.

Perfect for curious kids, kids who feel nervous about the ocean, or anyone who likes falling asleep while learning something real about the world.
