Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Can’t wait to see this episode. Thanks for addressing the scholarship requirement at the end of last week’s video. That was helpful!
What is one thing a 3rd grader like me can start doing today to become a great inventioneer someday?
I love inventioneering!
We love R 51👽
Science live teaches me soo much thank you guys for everything!
I hope R-51 stays on this show forever
I did not know that Benjamin Franklin helped invent batteries. Also, I thought the design of the airplane was very cool and interesting.
I just wanted to say thank you for caring about our education, ever since ive transferred schools I genuinely feel like I can go where I need to go.
R-51 Is so funny. I cant stop laughing every time.
Thank you! Hope y’all had a great thanksgiving!
This is always the highlight of my week on Acellus
r51 saw a UFO
Invention involves some art and science both.
I’m grateful for Acellus and Dr.B and all Acellus teachers and staff. Happy Thanksgiving!
I would love to invent something cool and life changing one day!
Science is awesome!
R-51 is hilarious!
I love how educating the science live is!
I love inventioneering, and i’m thankful for Acellus this thanksgiving!
I love acellus because of its new update it makes it more fun and encouraging to get your school work done to do the activities.
When your sweater has static electricity and your friend touches it and gets zapped, is that because they are completing a circuit?
Happy thanksgiving thank you for the updates on how science live works and how to receive credit!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
R-51 is super funny in this episode. Happy Thanksgiving!!
There are so many possibilities with future technologies you discuss! Wow!
Inventionerring – The art of inventing. My new vocabulary word for the week.
It never occurred to me that older versions of batteries were so large, and over time they grew smaller and smaller.
I wonder how long it took for Benjamin Frannklin to figure out about the positive and negative charges.
Science live is awesome.
I thought this episode of Science Live was amazing!
how to people come up with ideas for inventions
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you R-51 for teaching morse code.
My mom said her grandparents didn’t have electricity so they burned some type of gas for light. We talked about it while we were watching a science live!
Great stuff. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Hope you had a great thankgiving! Love R-51!!
I think it’s amazing how many times you have to experiment before something clicks. This is a good one!
I love the part where he explains how to use certain parts of acellus.
R-51 really is laughter fuel XD
DR. TOBIAS is so funny
I love R51
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Thank you so much much for the interesting stories.
These are so amazing thank you
The facts about to jets was so cool !! Thank you for these science lives ❤️
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
The Science Lives are always interesting. Thank you!
Happy Thanksgiving. Great job on your book Wayne!
We love R 51!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving thebest season is yet to come
I could tell ahead of time that R-51 was eventually going to do actual morse code
Inventioneering is amazing!
I LOVE THIS!
Hi from Georgia
I get smarter watching science live!
I LOVE THE MORSE CODE SEGMENT!!!!
I love learning about Benjamin Franklin.
Masterpiece of entertainment as always
Does SOS really mean save our ship?
Happy Holidays!!!
I like Area-51!
We really enjoyed this episode! Funny. Watching all the way from the Virgin Islands.
Positive and Negative energy!
The R-51 was very interesting.
Hope ya’ll had a great Thanksgiving!!
Thank you. I can’t wait to make my own book!
I did not know a capacitor was a cheap battery. When I heard that I immediately thought of back to the future and watching it with my mother and wondering what a flex capacitor was at the time. It was very cool to realize what that meant. I also wanted to say I thought it was pretty cool that the prize for the science fair was a navy cruise in California. That sounds amazing although your flight sounded terrible. Thank you for sharing those stories.
Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one that thought of Back To The Future!
we love Science Live
I actually really enjoyed this live and I found r51 really cool as well!
Thank you for science live
Happy Thanksgiving! Such a great lesson.
I liked learning how things was made. thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Happy Thanksgiving.
This was a great video, happy Thanksgiving to anyone reading!
Happy holidays!
I loved the part about the jets I found it really interesting.
Cant wait to see what happens to R51 lol.
The amount of physics that goes on from constructing and flying aircrafts are so above my understanding. To not only do that, but go even further to mask the noise absolutely crazy. Definitely one of the hardest jobs in the world!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Those new manganese compounds could really improve hydrogen powered items and tools in the future.
Thank you so much for another amazing Science Live!
I found the plane nose bending really interesting!
Interesting and entertaining, happy holidays!!
Happy late thanksgiving haha!🦃
I really love watching and learning about stuff and how stuff is made.
Aerodynamics is so interesting because I was extremely interested in how planes work to further explain in dept, like how sonic booms come about and sound waves etc. Even when you guys explained about how Benjamin Franklin came about with inventing a battery or contributed to inventing a battery.
Happy late thanksgiving! Inventioneering is so interesting to study!
R-51 is always one of my favourite parts of Science Live
Awesome live! so fun!
Thank you for the video and happy thanksgiving!
I would love to be a inventer it is a very intresting carrer.
happy late thanksgiving!!! halliorus!
science live is amazing
So awesome!
Thank you for the video and a very interesting theme!
I loved the part about the plane! This was my favorite science live! My younger brother and I watch together on Sundays. It is part of our weekly routine and we learn together.
Happy thanksgiving what a wonderful video this week. The new super sonic jet design is very interesting looking compared to the Concordes prior design.
How high a jet can fly?
We LOVE science live. You always make it so entertaining and engaging for all ages.
We do have a question to follow up with the requirements for science live scholarship. So we only have to log in and watch, not comment? Somewhere I have read that a comment is now required to count for the scholarship.
This was my favorite science live! Thank you so much.
How many different things can we power with hydrogen?
Thank you Dr Roger Billings. I enjoy doing these science live.
I made a connection between the antenna design and the scientific studies of ancient scientists, such as Leonardo DeVinci, that were considered more artistic than scientific. Is there any correlation between these two theories?
Fantastic! Always a new fascinating topic!
It was nice learning the origins of batteries
Phoenix says, “I hope Dr Billings had a happy Thanksgiving’!” We were away visiting family, but he really enjoyed learning about the ufos and what SOS meant when we got back home.
I love science live.
r51 causes trouble for sure. hahahahahahahaha. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i thought the joke about the jet was funny (the pinocio joke).
Wonderful episode! Happy Thanksgivings!!
what was the first battery name?
Hope you had a great thanksgivng! I did 🙂 the video was great gets my family interested in sience! The R-51 is amazing!
These videos always make me laugh, whenever I am bored I’ll just watch one and it always brightens my mood. Happy Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for Acellus!!
I enjoyed learning about the German researchers inventing a new metal complex to create hydrogen power. I also thought Dr. Joshua’s explanation about attending Science live was very useful. Thank you for your video!
R-51 is such a treasure!
how was your thanksgiving guys 🦃🥔🍗
I really liked learning that the first computers came out in 1977 and about the German research in hydrogen power. Knowing the attendance guidelines for Science live was really useful. Thank you for your video!

So funny! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love r-51
The Navy Science Cruise sounded so interesting! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Benjamin Franklin has always been my favorite inventor.
Happy late Thanksgiving everyone!! Thanks for a great lesson once again. Ps. I love Benjamin Franklin!!
Happy late Thanksgiving from Illinois!
OMG I love science lives
I found it fascinating that art is incorporated into science!
I was wondering how to check my watched science live videos! This is very helpful.
Hello from NC! Happy thanksgiving
Hi, Thank you for the episode.
R51 is really amazing.
We love the story of the little boy in the activities.
Aliens are 100 percent real. I live in the state with Area 51.
I really enjoyed this science live! Its so interesting! Happy Thanksgiving!
Such a good live😂😂
That plane looks crazy. It looks like a needle. I wonder how fast it can fly?✈️
Wow its very interesting to learn about the invention of batteries! I hope I can invent something amazing in the future. The area 51 always makes me laugh my favorite part!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!
The HD Camera is neat, but what would happen if the camera or the camera feed stops? Especially during landing.
Happy Thanksgiving loved learning about inventions this week
So much fun loved learning about the Leyden jars and how it became of battery’s thank u
I found it fascinating that Benjamin Franklin experienced a severe electric shock during his experiments, and that he dedicated so much time to exploring early forms of electricity and battery-like devices. His willingness to test dangerous ideas shows how determined he was to understand how electrical energy worked.
Happy Thanksgiving thank you for teaching us about inventions especially the battery’s
I want to learn more about planes and radios
Laden Jars are cool
What a fascinating bit of history! Benjamin Franklin’s scientific curiosity was truly groundbreaking. While Alessandro Volta invented the chemical battery, it was Franklin who coined the term ‘battery’ itself and established the fundamental concepts of positive and negative charge. This work was absolutely essential, laying the conceptual groundwork for all future electrical storage and technology. His genius didn’t just help the world; it truly powered the foundation of the modern electrical age
If the plans NASA has could reduce the effects of sonic booms, do we think we could ever have a supersonic car or land vehicle that could safely move that quickly?
Tell r51 that if he wants to make his own version of morse code he needs to put a little bit more efort
Great video! Happy holidays!
Happy late thanksgiving!
I really love science!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hi from Michigan! I love Science L!ve!
Clean energy is important to our environment,
I think these videos are amazing and I thought it was interesting that Benjamin Franklin got zapped
Hello from Georgia, Very interesting today.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Another good episode i really enjoyed it!
How does inventioneering bridge the gap between creative ideation and practical engineering, and what processes ensure that imaginative concepts can be transformed into scalable, real-world solutions?
I would love to work for NASA one day.
r51 is a great teacher
R-51 is funny. Happy Thanksgiving !!
science is so interesting.
Happy holidays!! I always think of new inventions that I’d love to create one day.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
I love that acellus encourages inventioneering
Why does it make a sonic boom when jets break the sound barrier?
I really enjoyed this live and i hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving!
I enjoyed this live and I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving !
I really like watching these videos each week!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!
Who at NASA originally invented X-59?
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am grateful for my family and friends. Happy Thanksgiving!
Why are fighter jets designed to look like birds?
The story of the flight to California is quite hilarious.
I want to ride in a super sonic speed plane.
The section on the jets was very interesting. Happy thanksgiving.
