Inventioneering is so interesting!
It was interesting to hear about how Ben Franklin became interested in batteries.
Dr. Tobias will never fail to enlighten! 🙌😁❤️
Science Live was great again this week! The x-59 Jet was so cool to see and interesting to learn about. Learning about the battery was also very interesting. Also enjoying how we come up with inventions with Dr. Billings. So Grateful for Acellus and all it has been teaching me. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy late Thanksgiving, Acellus! I loved learning about batteries today.
I think R-51 is the best!
I think inventing something, could help you become successful.
Love Acellus
Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed learning about the jets and aircrafts!
Happy Thanksgiving. We are grateful for your program.
I’m grateful to be able to be apart of the Acellus team!
Happy thanksgiving acellus, thank you for letting me learn at home but also being able to acell my learning capabilities. I found it cool when Dr billings talked about being on the navy science cruise. I would love to go on someday.
Radio waves and how they work is a topic I’ve always been somewhat curious about, so to have this lecture help provide a few answers is great. The whole story with the planes was really entertaining and it made learning about the tech behind them a lot more engaging.
“technology advances much faster when you have more people working on it”. this is common sense
this is the best part of my day!
Another cool episode of Science Live. I’m thankful for Acellus Academy!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I love watching these! Thank you for providing this great knowledge!
R51 is hilarious! Watching from Houston
Inventioneering is amazing!
Welp
R-51 has summoned a UFO…
Great video as usual!
Happy Thanksgiving! I enjoyed learning about batteries.
The front of the airplane looked like Pinocchios nose.
How do you balance the need for innovation with the practical constraints of cost and manufacturabilty when developing a new invention?
I like R51!
R51 is funny!
The UFO probably came because it heard SOS (Save Our Ship), and aliens always come to help when their friends are in danger (definitely factual information). Also, I want to see how fast that plane can really go, hopefully saying it can go at the speed of sound wasn’t part of the reason its nose is so long!
For real
How long did it take for them to make a 9 watt battery?
Happy thanksgiving
Is the X-59 quicker than the other supersonic jets?
Speed of sound, long nose, that sounds like a British Concorde, 4 jet engines inside of the back of the two massive delta wings, it can go over Mach 2, they discontinued it due to high prices. It was called the Queen of the Skies.
hilarious!!!
The topic about the plane, and on how they designed it to minimize the sonic boom noise was interesting. The design of the plane was really cool.
A Sonic Boom is really loud!!
The Plane with the long nose looks very cool, I wonder how much it can go more than the supersonic speed!
I know!!! LOL! SOS now means SAVE OUR SHIP!!!XD R-51 is so funny!
I found this video very interesting especially the part about the planes. Thank you for the learning opportunity!
I thought it waa interesting how Benjamin Franklin got zapped really bad and how much he really experimented with battery invention.
This was a good episode. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
Yeeea R-51!
I like how you could just invent something in everyday life.
Happy Thanksgivingggg!!! Hahahah loved the videooo ❤️
Happy thanksgiving!!! R-51 is such a treasure
I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!
Love R-51!😄
My favorite part was learning about the radio waves, I’ve always been curious about them
Thank you for the video and Happy Thanksgiving!
I would love to see future advancements in supersonic technology!
Everything we have was an invention or a discovery
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving! I think being an inventor is a very important job to our society and we need more of them!
I really enjoy learning how things are made, batterys are cool. The planes were interesting, and once again R-51 did not disapoint to make me laugh.
Happy Holidays!
Happy Thanksgiving 🎉
I am glad there was part about how to write your own book. I haven’t used that activity yet because I didn’t know how it worked. It looks fun and I want to make my own story now. It was also interesting to learn how batteries got their name and why they have funny looky connecting points.
I like Roger billings
I have done that activity and I enjoyed it. I have made 3 books!
Happy Holidays! The part about the jets were so interesting.
Dr.B is a smart guy
Happy Thanksgiving I love this school and science live.
Science live was awesome today!
Interesting live! Happy thanksgiving!
Have a good holiday
Hoped everyone had a good holiday!!!
I’m going to be a great inventor.
I love the story about the science navy cruise.
science is cool
I hope to be an inventor one day too
thank you for the weekly live!
Happy thanksgiving it’s cool seeing that I love these videos.
I love science live, thank you for all you do.
This is so fun, thanks for teaching us
Dr. Roger Billings sure has some adventures to tell about!
What is the most critical step in the ‘Inventioneering’ process the stage where a novel idea transitions from a theoretical concept to a viable prototype, and what engineering challenge most often causes new inventions to fail at that stage
This was so much fun and interesting to watch!
Thanks for mentioning the requirements for the Science Live!
That question gets brought up a lot in forums and online because students are always concerned about that.
Inventioneering is so cool!
Thankful for Acellus this thanksgiving!
Science is amazing
loving this new science live and late happy thanks giving!
It was cool seeing the view from a pilot’s perspective!
I did not know it was illegal to go over the speed of sound over land
Science live is always so interesting to me, just being able to figure out new things is amazing!
science is so cool. i love r51
I love learning about new things every week!
Happy Thanskgiving!
r51 is the best
i love science live
Can we get a Deep Hole update
Thank you so much ofr the information i would love to learn more about this.
I would love to be an inventor .
i enjoyed learning about the jet that Nasa has released with the pointy nose . r51 is very funny
The science live was amazing today
It’s AMAZING that we had a form of electricity back then!
I think all my favorite episodes so far have been the ones about ‘Inventioneering’! These episodes are just so fun and educational too!
I love science live!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Dr. B!
r51 kinda cool ngl
Awesome science live.
Happy Thanksgiving guys!
I love r51 so much he’s hallarious
I love the ending when the UFO comes.
I can make static with my feet when i rub them on the carpet and touch someone it gives a little shock its so fun.
The book activity looks really fun I can’t wait to make my own and show every one.
Is the X-59 quieter than other supersonic jets?
I really liked how you talked about thinking like an inventioneer in normal life, not just in science class. That motivated me.
Happy Thanksgiving, Acellus! great live!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving. I really enjoy watching Science Live.
R51 is the best I love his part in science live.
One thing I learned is how batteries changed over time.
Happy thanksgiving!
I have heard the jets from the air force base here do sonic booms
I learned that Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to invent a battery.
Did r-51 find the UFO?
I think r 51 is funny.
Did r-51 see the UFO?
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I have learned so much from science live! Thank you, Acellus.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, I love doing science live.
Science Live is cool.
Seeing how things we use in our lives came to be how they are is interesting.
I like watching these Science Lives. I learn a lot of interesting stuff.
Thankful for Acellus, I love learning this way.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
The end was so funny
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you so much for being such a great school!
Great live! Happy Thanksgiving!
How long would the Leyden jar store electricity?
The segment on the jets is so entertaining & informative!
This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for this wonderful school!
I’m thankful for this program!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Science live is awesome!
Morse code played a crucial role for American military in all of the major wars.
Hello Acellus!
Thank you for showing us how to watch the Science Live and meet the scholarship credit!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
I love it! I always look forward to this!
My brother is very smart he’s only 10 but he’s smart. I call him Einstein. He wants to be an inventor when he grows up.
That is so crazy that a jet can go faster then the speed of sound!
I am so thankful for my family and Acellus
i think r51 is funny
R51: This is A – and this is B — And this is Z————
I just learned how to say s.o.s in Morse can code because of r-51. And also happy thanks giving.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING SCIENCE LIVE!
I love science live and wouldn’t want to ever miss an episode because i just find science live interesting
The super sonic jet is super cool! Also, I know that when a jet goes really high and fast the pilots sometimes have to deal with G forces. If the pilot laid down instead of sat up in the cockpit, would the G forces be just as bad?
i love the red jacket
Happy thanksgiving i have always wanted to invent something, and acellus has been a part of my life since i was 4 i am so thankfull for it.
I did an experiment to check to see if a 9V battery still had a charge with my dad. He told me to put my tongue on it and it shocked me! It was still charged.
R 51 is so so funny hopefuly he did not get taken by the ufo
r51 is hilarious
This was an interesting episode. Especially the part about the X-59 (flight nut in the room) and Dr. Joseph’s joke about “put the turkey in at 180 degrees” 🤣🍗🔄️
science live is so interesting! happy thanksgiving
I thought that the Leyden Jar has an interesting reaction.
Science Live always teaches me new things! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Science is cool!
inventing – quite incredible to think of everything that once not in existence to now be used daily!
Happy Thanksgiving.
That jet nose was really long.
Happy Thanksgiving! I love Science Live.
Happy thanksgiving! I’m thankful for this program and how we learn something new every day
I like the end were he put sos the breaking news came and said a space ship came above R -51!
I really like learning new and interesting things on science live
Do you have to be a certain age to be an inventer?
Happy Thanksgiving! I loved the Benjamin Franklin battery section. I couldn’t fathom how you could possibly cook a turkey with an electrical battery array.
I liked learning about the origins of batteries and other items we use daily come from. I also liked the X59 and the NASA test flight were so interesting.
Science Live makes learning about science more interesting!
Happy Thanksgiving acellus team!
I love watching to Science Live.
The UFO from Pajet’s planet really came to save R=51! XD
I think morse code is such a cool and useful tool even today with the current technology
Great video, I love R51 .
Happy thanksgiving y’all and I learned a lot from all this!
Third science lab since I’ve been here on Acellus! It is so fun to watch!…. Dr. R-51 is funny
I really love the concord.
The super sonic jet created by NASA is really cool. I think it’d be interesting if they made HD cameras to go on the back of the jet so the pilot could see if anything was coming from behind.
the x-59 was cool to hear about with the sonce boom reduction.
I love science live happy thanksgiving
OMG!!! thank you for the inventioneeing video l felt like there was so much left to learn about it last week Thank You!!!
This science live was awesome! And happy thanks giving
Thank you for the amazing science live!!
I loved learning about morse code <3
Happy Thanksgiving, Americans!
Another great science live video. Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.
Man R51 is absolutely hilarious!!!
Please can you give us a time frame of when the morse code learning activity and the conspirasy theorys course!! Please and thank you
And Happy thanksgiving 🦃🦃🦃🦃😁😁😁
This science live was awesome!
I love this show
R51 is so fun!!!
Thank you for the hilarious video!!!
It is amazing how inventors and scientists have comed together to discover sound waves and the way to use them in communication and detecting objects through radar.
I liked learning about jets and how they make a very loud sound when they break the sound barrier.
love Mrs. Pajet on the show!
I greatly appreciated this science live. I learned a lot
I hope you all had a great thanksgiving!
Hello from Ohio. I am thankful for Acellus. I am so much happier doing school at home.
I really enjoy watching Science Live and I am always learning something new from it.
Thank you science live. My favorite part was about jets!
What did the pilot say when you all ran to the back, and then to the front of the plane?
