Happy holidays hope everyone is doing well theses weeks have been crazy busy.
I love science live!
Happy thanksgiving
is morse code for emergency only
For Thanksgiving i am very grateful for science live and all of acellus!
Tuning in from vermont, I learn new fun facts and cool information every time.
Everyone has done so very well! Love the jokes!!
its crazy how Benjamin franklin survived the zap even though he got hurt really bad
I found everything about the battery very interesting. I learn new facts and information every time!
i have read some books of morse code. Interesting video.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Great episode.
Lovely science live if I do say so! Truly an enjoyable time!
Thankyou and happy thanksgiving!
How did we come up with the name Jet? also happy late Thanksgiving
R-51 was funny!😂
Thank you for this episode of Science Live. Happy Thanksgiving!
Interesting to know what indicated air speed means and what causes turbulence.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
love R-51
Loving Dr. B
He is a smart man!
Happy Thanksgiving!
It was very interesting learning about the history and development of the battery!
I loved where R-51 was making it so complicated to make a little language of his own, haha!!!
Watching from knoxville
Happy Thanksgiving and a merry early Chrsitmas!
The X-59 jet is honestly crazy. The fact that they’re designing it to reduce the sonic boom into more of a “sonic thump” is crazy. It feels like a huge step toward bringing back supersonic travel and I really want to try it one day.
I am grateful for my friends and family
I love the science experiment at the end
wow! What an amazing science live! Thanks again for everything so interesting we can learn every time we watch!
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!
I loved hearing about inventing, I’ve always thought about becoming one in some way!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
These videos are hillarious! Happy thanksgiving!
I’m grateful for science live! I’ve learned many new things.
did they have to made a camara specifically for the plane?
🛸🚀🛸🚀🛸🚀🛸🚀🚀🛸🛸🚀🚀🚀🚀🛸🛸🚀🚀🛸🛸🚀🛸🛸🚀🚀🛸🚀🚀
I haven’t used the making a book activity yet but am excited to use it when i have time for i can use my imagination to write a book!
I can’t stop laughing! XD Happy late Thanksgiving to everyone including R-51!!! Keep on working!!!
✨🍁! Happy Thanksgiving !🍁✨
how was the leyden jer made?
happy late thanksgiving! that ufo joke was so funny loved it as always!
Why do they make it shape of it they way it is (the plane)
why is the jar called the leyden jar?
Is that plane faster than normal planes?
Interesting to learn what the inside of a dry cell battery is like.
I liked learning about the processes of perfecting that certain type of airplane. I also liked learning some morse code.
Happy Late Thanksgiving! Isn’t it beautiful how everyone can become inventors but in different ways? You can invent something with science, or invent a new recipe. You can also invent a song, or invent a book series. You can invent pretty much anything your heart desires! Everyone has their own unique ideas, and it’s so cool how anyone can create something that brings a new perspective to the table! Thank you for all the teaches allowing us to learn amazing things everyday, and spark new ideas for the generations to come! God Bless! 💗
Thank you for the opportunity for me to learn I am so thankfull.
Hello I love science lives from florida!!
I love waching science live because it teaches me more about science.
It is so cool how the leyden jar jumpstarted the creation of the battery.
how long did it take to make the f-59
It was very interesting to learn that Science and Art involve together.
Is it possible to make a plane shaped like UFO?
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
How fast is the fastest jet and what makes it so fast?
Happy thanksgiving I love science live!
It is pretty cool how pilots can land jets with 3D cameras.
I think inventing things is cool. My brother is always tinkering with things to make new things. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
I loved the part about planes!
Dr, be is a very smart person!
The battery electrical energy process is known as electrochemical.
I thought it was interesting how the R-59 reduced sound by changing the wing shape and having a longer point. I also thought it was interesting when they talk about the voltaic pile which creates an imbalance in positive and negative through a chemical reaction.
“What experiment or research helped you develop your inventioneering idea?”
Happy Thanksgiving!!! This video was fun to watch, just like the other videos!
It’s very interesting how every thing that runs off of stuff and what it takes for it to work
I am thankful for online school. Happy Thanksgiving
I didn’t know that when the jet flies it is almost the height of Mount Everest! That was an interesting fact, also, the UFO at the end was neat.
R51 dialing SOS in morse code and the UFO arriving is hilarious!!
Hope everybody had an amazing thanksgiving
Inventioneering is so cool to learn about.
Inventioneering is about inventing and engineering. It’s a great way to learn many different ways to create inventions.
I was just wondering if you were still doing the diet you patented and if so is it still working good?
Poor R-51, he is not even allowed to invent is own code. 🙁
Rewatched this livestream, loved it so much! Thank you Acellus! 💗
Happy Thanksgiving!
Can a sonic boom break windows on the ground? I am thankful for this program and for my family.
happy thankssgiving! awesome video thank yall so much!
I’m grateful for my family
Thank you for this weekly program I love hearing the interesting facts youy tell people
What happens when the cameras and monitors fail on the X-59? How will the pilot be able to see and fly the jet?
How do inventioneers decide which ideas are worth developing?
I really want to write a book! Thanks for the help.
It was an interesting a discussion on the sound barrier jet. And make sure you take a Dramine when flying with the Navy.
I really appreciate how flexible the terms are for attending the science lives. And happy belated Thanksgiving!
They should call the jet a flying sword fish.
I never knew that jars were such a big part of the very first battery first battery! That’s amazing!
I loved the parts of the jets!Happy holidays everyone!🦃
I really liked learning how to send an emergency message with dits and dahs!
R-51 is great
R51 club!!!! <3 merry Christmas!
Happy late Thanksiving! I love the story about the science navy cruise.
From what I am understanding, having a big nose helps. HAHAHAHAHA!
Cassiah from Talkeetna Alaska✨️✨️🦃🍁🍂
Happy Thanksgiving!! I liked learning about inventions!
Is the x-59 the quietest aircraft and could this help our millitary do things more discreetly because it reduces the sonic boom?
*The process of how something is engineered or build is really interesting. I wonder what material they want to use to split water?
Happy thanksgiving. R51 is always great, he makes our entire family laugh when he starts working on his projects.
Science live is phenomenal. What is gravitational pull?
Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
My dad hears sonic booms by his job
This was actually one of my favorite science lives i also love how they showed how to do sos in Morse code since i keep forgetting to look it up and i know its usefull to know!!
This Science was awesome and funny. Happy late Thanksgiving!
That was a crazy plot twist on the “Socks” story
I had no clue the Leyden jar was used to store energy before generators!
Learning about inventions is really cool and shows us how to prevent certain things and learning why inventions usually fail at a certain stage
Happy Thanksgiving to Acellus Academy staff, students, and families! Happy to be back.
I LOVE Dr Billing’s story about himself when he was a student!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Good job Wayne! We love the write a book activity!
Happy Thanksgiving. UFO is coming to save R-51.
r51 is in a big trouble
As always, another interesting video by R-51. I love science and Acellus makes it so much more fun. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
This was a pretty funny episode. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
This week’s Science Live was awesome! Thank you, for yet another entertaining and educational Science Live.
science is so cool!!!😎
Grateful. Happy Thanksgiving. Love Science. SOS
R-51 is so cool!!
This episode was inspiring. I liked the message about seeing problems as opportunities and thinking like an inventor.
I love science. It’s so fun learning new things every week
Happy thanksgiving Acellus is such a great school and helped a lot with my grades because I kept getting disstracted
I enjoyed the story of where the two passengers went to the back of the plane two at a time and then ran to the front at the same time.
The next time that happened the pilot figured out what was happening, and so pulled up and made everyone roll to the back of the plane.
Now I know how to send an SOS in an emergency.
Also as Ben Franklin found out by trying a new way to cook turkey, inventing things can be dangerous.
Happy Thanksgiving. R51 is so silly it’s entertaining.
Electricity has come a long way since Leyden Jars!
Science is my favorite subject!
Ben Franklin is awesome!!!
Happy late thanksgiving! The ending part was really funny! 🤣
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus fam!!
Aircrafts amaze me! There’s so much to them, they are a very delicate craft we rely on. Props the pilots who know how to control them!
I liked the joke about cooking the turkey. Happy Thanksgiving.
People back in the day would think that the static electricity is magic.
Happy Holidays! I hope when I get older I will have my pilot license.
Love seeing how things are invented! Amazing! Happy Thanksgiving!
Gosh dang it R-51, always causing trouble….
This video actually taught me how to do SOS
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
I REALLY ENJOYED the live video sesion, Dr.B. I’m really interested in the new type of airplane that the U.S. Air Force has came up with. 🙂
I love science Live.
I want to go at the speed of sound it will be like piloting through lightspeed in Star Wars and the mandolorian
Happy thanksgiving! r51 is always funny
Difference between planes and jets?
Excellent, thank you so much for this opportunity.
I love watching Roger Billings
Love this episode and happy thanksgiving!!
Loved this episode! Hello from FL! 🙂
Loved this one and happy thanksgiving!!
I liked his red jacket and I liked the part with the UFO!
I can not wait to be inspired!
I learned a lot about the discovery of electricity and I thought Area 51 was funny with the ufo coming cause he said SOS “save our ship!” I always learn so much from science live every week.
I love how Dr. John so Intricately explained how wind tunnels and the X-59 present the future or supersonic flight!
Wow, so cool. How would a long nose ‘stretch out’ the boom? 😀
Great analogy for inventing by comparing stairs, step by step!
I would love to be an inventor.
What a long nose! It sure does look hilarious on such a high tech jet! ✈️
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁!!!!
I keep a gratitude journal and it keeps me positive and focused on good things.
All very interesting. I am new to Acellus and ScienceLive. Happy Thanksgiving.
The history of battery’s and static electricity is honestly so cool. Happy late thanksgiving!
Happy Holidays from Wisconsin!!
The R-51 segments have to be my favorite they are humorous and informative.
Is inventioneering a mix between inventing and engineering?
Banjamin Franklin had to be brave and passionate to be able to get zapped and still be able to continue to experiment.
I loved this science live!
Happy thanksgiving, Science Live is awesome
Happy Thanksgiving! I love science live!
science live makes me want to excell at school and to do my best in life
Hi, I’m watching with my mom and dad. Happy belated Thanksgiving!
Happy thanksgiving!! thank you for this!!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope to invent something!
so much fun watching these videos
Inventing is so fun, Might look into being an inventor when I’m older
Loved the part about the evolution of batteries.
Happy late Thanksgiving! R-51 is pretty cool!
Will people outside of NASA ever get to fly in the new supersonic jet?
The concord jets were so interesting!!!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. my mom says cooking is a math and science. it invovles math with measurements and science in experimenting with new recipes and hoping for the best
