To celebrate World Science Day on 10th December we ran a competition for our online fans to win 12 awesome Whizz Pop Bang magazines, all stored neatly in a binder. We asked people to send in their science jokes, only those suitable for kids, and we’re very pleased to say we had loads which is very good news for our editors who love a good science joke ?
We decided the winning joke needed to be right for our readers, so 6 to 11-year-olds, and the sort of joke that really makes you chuckle. But how could we choose from over 50 jokes?! Well, luckily we have a group of kids at hand who took great pleasure in reading every single one, and whittling it down to their top five favourite, then three, then two and finally after much debate… one.
Want to see the long list? We thought you would…

As you can see the process involved print outs, cut outs, different coloured pens, ticks and an awful lot of deliberation!
But we have a winner, one joke that made us all laugh – the kids and the grown ups… the winning science joke is…
Why didn’t the Sun go to university? Because he already had a million degrees!
