Rock on science!!
Science Rocks!
It was fun to learn about how elements are discovered in the origin of periodic table. It was really fun to learn about a bunch of elements. My favorite element is gold.
ROCK ON!
Thank you for the videos!
Elements are pretty cool!
I love elements!
I love snakes
Elements are amazing and cool!
So many elements!
This was an interesting video about the elements. Chemistry is complex, but amazing.
I love learning about the periodic table!
pajet looks so pretty
I love learning about elements.
The periodic table is so interesting!
Elements are so cool!
elements are interesting
Thank you this was fascinating!
why can’t you let the fluorine out of the bottle?
All these elements and how useful each of them are, fascinates me to my very core, I am also learning about them this year in my Physics and Chemistry class.
elements are cool!
OOOOOH! AI. now kids can use AI to write stories!
so cool!!
Why can’t you let the fluorine out of the bottle?
Wow!
I love elements and the periodic table!
I love this!!!
Elements are so interesting to learn about.
Nice job with the video. Hope you guys had fun with it.
Very wonderful episode. I love elements!
Elements are great!
i know one of the elemants is gold!
This was awesome!
this episode was awesome
Why can’t you let the fluorine out of the bottle?
I am curious about exactly how many elements have been found
When a new element comes it opens up a whole new dimension for uses and discovery.
wowww
elements are so fascinating
All these elements! So cool to learn about the properties of the elements.
Wow! I never knew that much about elements and the earth.
Elements are so interesting.
It’s always interesting to talk about elements.
Do you think there are any elements on earth that we may not have discovered yet?
elements are so interesting. is there any we haven’t learned about possibly?
Are there still undiscovered elements?
Elements are definitely like nothing else.
Wow elements are so unique and cool
I can’t wait for when you can see an atom under a microscope
Elements are so fascinating
Yet so many things still remain unknown and undiscovered. Crazy to think about.
Elements are cool. Could there possibly be any more that haven’t been discovered?
If you had to get rid of three elements which ones would you get rid of?
Elements are cool!
I want to learn about the periodic table
Do you still think there are elements we haven’t discovered if so what’s a rough guess on how many?
Elements are so interesting.
One of the most fascinating things about our planet
Interesting facts on elements!
I liked learning about Gallium
Elements are awesome!
My favorite element is Hydrogen.
I wonder if there are more elements to be discovered. I think the table of elements looks really pretty
I enjoyed learning about elements. I wonder if there are any we don’t know about.
Elements were one of my favorite things to learn about during chemistry and how they work together and the different reactions!
Elements work together its soo cool
The list of elements chart was interesting and the fact about fundamental building blocks. At the end of the video about motion moving back and forward was interesting to learn also.
It was interesting to learn how the elements were arranged into families.
elements are quite interesting
❤️❤️❤️
Elements are awesome!
I always love watching Science Live and learning about new topics! Learning about the different elements was so interesting and extremely helpful.
Elements are so interesting!
Yall have done some cool videos on elements!
Elements are so interesting!
It was really interesting to learn more about elements I got to learn new things I didn’t already know.
its so crazy to think that there’s always some form of element or something like it just waiting to be discovered.
I bet there are more elements to be discovered.
The elements of this world are really interesting, I learned so much about elements from this science live!
OMG I love elements
why are only 4 elements ever talked about like water, fire, earth and air?
Elements are so interesting.
I learn more and more about elements every year!! Thanks
Who decided to make the periodic table of elements to chart down the current elements we know?
I loved learning more about elements, loved this episode
I don’t trust elements, they’re always making things up
This is very interesting. A lot of things I thought I knew but, in all reality, didn’t
It’s amazing how she teaches us that we get mad because of the stupidest things
Elements are very close to us and every where. We really enjoyed it.
I never noticed how important elements are!
Do you think there are elements in the earth that have not been discovered yet?
The elements are interesting. The planets are made of different elements.
What are elements, and how were they discovered? I also wonder what will affect when you combine hydrogen and oxygen together?
To me our solar system looks like an atom the sun is the nucleus and the planets are the electrons.
why are only 4 elements ever talked about like water, fire, earth and air?
wow I didn’t know how important elements are.
Elements are really cool!
wow I didn’t know how important elements are.
Social Emotional class is my favorite out of all of them
Elements are so interesting
Love it
This lesson was awesome. I really enjoyed it, the planets are interesting. My mom is really big into the elements and has made us find some love for it all too.
Learning about the elements and the periodic table has been fun. I love that you made a joke with Sherlock Holmes. My family are big fans!
I love the elements of this world
i am so happy you guys talked about social emotional feelings because that’s is one of my favorite classes.
elements are cool. they are everywhere
Elements are so interesting cool.
Elements are so interesting and cool.
Very cool to learn so much about the elements.
Very interesting to learn about the elements.
I think it is cool how elements make up basically everything in our world, especially being able to learn about elements is so fun! I also think that having elements in our world are very important, but people don’t understand how important it is for life.
Elements making up everything is so cool to me.
Learning about the elements of the periodic table was my favorite lesson in chemistry!
element are very cool
Elements are so cool! My favorite one is mercury because it is liquid in room temperature and it has a lot of protons.
Do you think we will be able to discover new elements?
Elements are very Interesting
The universe consists of elements, basic substances that cannot be divided further. There are 118 elements in the world, and each has distinct characteristics. Together, they make up everything—air, water, life, and stuff. With the highest frequency on Earth, there is oxygen, silicon, and iron.
Hydrogen is one of my favorite Elements in the periodic table.
Elements are so important in the creation of life and the universe.
This was so intriguing!
elements are basically everything
Great live! Thanks for reminding me on how amazing chemistry is!
This is one of my favorite science lives!
It’s so cool having all of these different things on earth
I never knew how many elements there were
I feel like this is the coolest thing ever!
I like chemistry
My favorite element is H2O because its so versatile!
The element are so cool
Chemistry is amazing
A lot of people don’t know how important how elements are. Elements are what mostly eveyrthing is made out of.
Chemistry is hard for me but this was interesting and made it easier. Thank you
Chemistry is amazing
Do you think new elements will forever be coming our way?
Elements are super cool to learn about!
