Horrible Science is packed full of the much-loved sketches, bringing people together to enjoy fun facts, silly songs and jokes, which are synonymous with the hit series Horrible Histories. It delves into the incredible science of the past, the present, and the future as we explore our planet and the universe beyond, to bring 'Horrible Science' to life.

Created with the unique 'Horrible' DNA of comedy combined with awesome and mind-bending scientific facts, science learning and homework is about to become a whole lot more fun. From deadly dinosaurs to ferocious forces, and spectacular space to gnarly nanotech, this new brand aims to inspire younger audiences to laugh and learn through watching and using the educational resources.

Along the way, we'll meet Sir Isaac Newton on a rollercoaster explaining forces, the Moon complaining that nobody has been to visit him in a while and a T-Rex going to the doctors!
