Electricity: The Copper Highway & The Speed of Sleep | Calm Bedtime Science for Kids & Families
About this episode
In this episode, Josh explores the fascinating world of electricity and its connection to nature and our bodies in a calming manner for children.
Welcome to The Bedtime Scientist , the podcast where we skip the fairy tales and dive into the fascinating data of the real world.
