This is so cool! Can’t wait to see more!
I would love to go to space one day I think that looking out from a spaceship to see the earth
science is my little sisters favorite subject, i adore watching these videos with her and watching her inspiration grow.
If you could invent something people say is impossible what would it be?
My daughter has entered her “ everything is an experiment “ phase so when she’s outside and we’ve just finished school she’ll take whatever she can find and start making things. Experimenting is so much fun especially when your passion for science is evolving .
experimenting in science is fantastic, especially when flasks are involved!
I make inventions out of cardboard all the time.
This is so cool! Can’t wait for more.
wow so cool
I would love to be an inventioneer!!
So cool
thats cool how you can experiment with different things
I love watching science live it’s always so fun
💕
Very cool process
Cool live

How long did it take u to make a hydrogen car?
Science is my favorite subject. I love to make, build and experiment with things especially outdoors. My mom makes our own skin care sometimes with essential oils like soap and bug spray and I like to help!
To invent something would be so cool!
You can invent so many things

My Mom says I must have gotten my inventing mind from my ancestor Jesse W Reno. He invented Conveyor belts and the Electric stairs, (or Escalator). I am working on it.
I loved learning about inventing from this video.
Wow, this is super helpful for coming up with ideas! Thanks Rodger Billings!

Are patents needed for every invention? If so, why?
Inspiring video to prompt us to invent.
even since I was little and after I watched cloudy and the chance of meat balls I always wanted to be an inventor
I wanted to be an inventor myself one day.
I love learning new things when its comes to chemistry even if its simple
I thought that this was really interesting, and I learned a lot of new things.
I think using AI for marketing an invention can be very beneficial
This was a fun episode, it had some good jokes in it.
How many years were you in each field for college?
What are the steps of inventioneering.
I hope to become an inventor one day! so cool
This was pretty neat.
Really good
why are there so many inventions thats do the same thing?

It’s amazing to see how one person’s idea can shape the world.
Amazing!!!🤪
watch science live every day your brain will get bigger seriously
I love all of the jokes!
I think I use the first step more often than any others.
I only ask questions
Thank god Thomas Edeson made lightbulbs because if he didnt we would all be in the dark talking or working.
I love it when you guys do experiments! It’s so fun and at the same time we get to learn too!
Awesome video!

I love how this teaches me different things.
He is so funny
I love science
this was super cool.
Isn’t it amazing that we have HCL in our bodies! Our stomachs are line with a thick layer of mucus so that HCL can break down our food and ready it for digestion
This was very interesting. I use hydrogen peroxide for cuts so it was fun to connect every day household items to Science.
To invent something would be cool
This video is cool!

I have never heard of the word Inventioneer
So true, motivation and encouragement definitely play big roles in staying productive during school.
It’s so cool how you can find galaxies with technology. I also loved the mom talking about homeschool, its so true. 🙂
Can scientists create solder ? If so what is the safest way to do it?

My grandpa and great granpa were inventors and my dad makes amazing things too, but he has another job. My brother had a room he called the inventor center. I like to do crafts. I liked this episode because it gave me ideas of how to also invent but in the way I like to.
Wow, 8 years of science live! so coool!
I liked the ideas the homeschool mom gave in the beginning. I like the idea of taking a break between class assignments.

Thomas Edison was a great person to invent the lightbulb with his amazing mind.

This is a good episode.
As someone with a father, I can confirm that they HAVE to point at themselves before using a stud finder.
Are patents important for every invention?
Fascinating!🧐
Wow! The fact a college team can find such things in space is almost crazy! The universe is terrifying.
I thought that the reaction the splinter had with the oxygen was really cool.
Nice

cool!
love science live! really entertaining
This science lesson was so interesting
Who made the first invention ?
Wow! Those were some really neat experiments!
awesome!
If everyone made their inventions, how different would the world be?
When you created the pure oxygen what was the dark red by product?
nice
The experiment was super awesome
I really liked the flame experiment
Miss Pajet, I always wondered if you birdwatch? You just seem like the kind of person that appreciates nature like that
😀
System Engineering seems cool.
I liked this video
That was very interesting
interesting video
This was probably my favorite science live so far
Fascinating! This inspires me to innovate and invent!
How long do you think it will take for there to be people living on the moon?
The world is so big.
wow
Great video very informative.
Watching thanks!
Wow!
Awesome
Who is the first ever person to be considered and inventor? Loved this episode!
Great video
The flame experiments were very cool! Although i do wonder if they found any dead or living organisms in the frozen water?
What was the first invention every made
that’s cool
This inspired me to look into being an inventioneer!
=can you give tips on making things as an inventioneer
Interesting
love it!
Awesome. I love science live!
This was really neat!
I Learned that to become an inventor, you have to want to become one, you dont just effortlessly put things together.
These are amazing videos!
My dad loves to invent things, we absolutely loved this episode.
What is one of your favorite invention?
I love the 4D’s of inventioneering, it was a nice breakdown for my son to understand. I really appreciate your school teaches how to intentioneer and how to market. These two concepts go hand in hand to be a great entrepreneur.
What are the most common kind of inventions?
Did they find any living or dead organisms in the frozen water?
Loved this weeks Science Live!!
Math: Oxygen + week flame=big fire Pure Hydrogen + week flame=boom Carbon Dioxide + week flame=perished flame. I learned some stuff
I think this was interesting
wow
What I thought about this was it was funny with R-51.
I love your hair
That was an amazing video! I thought that it was a very funny video.
Awesome!
I love this vid
My Dad works at General Motors, and he told me that his job title is “Systems Engineer,” but he works with computers in the IT field. Mr. Billings, I was wondering, since that is the same title as your bachelor’s degree, do you know if there are systems engineers in each of the different fields of science? Thank you
Inventioneering is when you mix inventing and engineering to make cool stuff that helps people. First, you think of a problem, like “How can I carry all my snacks at once?” Then, you brainstorm wild ideas
The flame experiments were really cool.
I love how Dr. Billings said “Hydrogen PERRoxide”; I broke out laughing lol
wow
Awesome
I like the way he took the fire lit up again in the bottle.
Inventioneer helps those make items that this population could use or need .
Definitely favorite part was learning about how the wires went down in the ground and how he eventually exclusively used one company to make the lightbulbs . Never thought about how they were made or how difficult it could even be so that was super interesting thank you !
I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE, sorry for caps.
Great😄
First to comment! Woah, I learned something new today and everytime I watch science live!
Amazing as usual, who can get used to watching this? Something always surprises me!! 👏 👏
I really enjoy watching these, I love the fact so many people have worked so hard to make things that we are still using today and making improvements on the same inventions.
I wish I had good creative skills, I have the talent but never the creative aspect
he added my some of my idea in the next one yay!!!!!
That was a really cool video I never new that.
These videos are so entertaining while being really fun to watch!
sounds fun!
Great episode I always look forward to it!
how are your jokes so good
