Cane toads, runaway rabbits and ants that turn themselves into living ___??… some uninvited guests really know how to make themselves at home!

In this Kids vs Adults S’Quiz, we’re exploring invasive species — the animals, plants and tiny organisms that arrive somewhere new and cause big problems.

Can the kids outsmart the adults? Will a Pokémon question give younger brains the edge? And who remembers an international hitchhiker from The Simpsons?

Ten questions for the kids. Ten for the adults. Gather your team, fire up the grey matter and find out who rules the roost!

September has been Biodiversity Month, so we’re heading into the Squiz Kids Vault for a trip to one of the most remarkable places on Earth: the Galápagos Islands!

How did swimming iguanas, giant tortoises and finches with different beaks end up on these volcanic islands? And what did a young Charles Darwin notice when he arrived aboard the Beagle?

Join Amanda and Bryce to discover how the Galápagos helped change our understanding of life on Earth. Keep your ears open for a rather gruesome finch, and a S’Quiz at the end!

How do rainbows form? 🌈

The rain stops, the Sun comes out, and someone shouts, “Rainbow!” But where did all those colours come from?

This week, Christie answers a question from Bella, aged eight, from Brisbane. Follow sunlight through a raindrop, find out why you and a friend see slightly different rainbows, and discover how a rainbow can be a full circle. Plus: the truth about that pot of gold at the end.
