R-51 is hilarious!!!
Inventioneering seem very cool!
I love learning about the jets that was so cool.
Dr.B explains his topics so clearly!
I love SCIENCE L!VE!!
Knowing why air crafts have different shapes is interesting.
The story of Ben Franklin calling the jars a “battery of jars” was really interesting.
I love science live
Those plane trips sounded crazy!
I wish I could fly that jet!!!
I wonder how I can use science for sports and workouts. If you think about it you should be able to implement science into anything you do. I really want to learn and think about it!
Learning about the making of batteries and how they really work was very interesting!
It’s neat that the jets us HD cameras to help them fly and land.
Hope you all had a happy thanksgiving!! R 51 is so funny 🙂
My Dad is an engineer. I think creating something new is so cool! I love technology. What do you think AI will look like in the future?
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Inventioneering is cool
“Less about science and more about art” I like that. Happy Thanksgiving! I am so very thankful!
R51 is funny
A hydrogen powered home would be revolutionary.
What is the tallest biggest building in the world??
Thank you for going over the situation about the Science Live Scholarship! I’ve been a little paranoid about missing Lives due to busy schedules and unavaliable technology, resulting in losing my scholarship. I’m glad that the requirements are a little bit flexible, so I still have it. Thank you!
Learning about batteries was very interesting. I love these science live videos.
How was Acellus made?
I love inventioneering!
I love acellus academy.
Inventioneering is fun!
The plane with the “Pinocchio nose” , according to Dr. Billings, was kind of awesome. It would also be interesting to see an actual transistor radio.
Each episode is so interesting, I never get bored of watching Science Live!!
I love learning with DR. Joshua
i AM THANKFUL TO BE ABLE TO HOMESCHOOL
The Leyden jar is very cool
R51 is so funny sos= “save our ship”R51
I love being able to learn new facts about things in science. Excited to learn more things this week!
I always look forward for the Science Lives!
I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!!
Being grateful makes life happier
R51 is funny lol.
Hello Acellus team, I would love to come in person one day to watch science live.
R 51 is always a great addition to Science Live.
Good Job Dr. Billings!
What are some more interesting things I will learn about in inventioneering?
I love all the jokes at the beginning of these, they are amazing! Happy Thanksgiving!
Wouldn’t the long nose on the plane distubrute the weight to the front of the plane?
The fact that some jets can go faster than the speed of sound is crazy to me!
Interesting how batteries go from negative to positive and not positive to negative.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great time with their families and ate some delicious food. I know I did!
It’s interesting that a grateful attitude can actually build our resilience and change our brains. I believe that we can find something to be grateful for each day. I am thankful for this program and all that work that goes into creating it–thank you!!
It was cool to hear about Dr. Billings’ trip. Happy December!!
Science live is so much fun to watch!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Hope the Science Live team has a wonderful Thanksgiving! <3
Roger Billings stories are the best about all the adventures he has had lol.
My parents have a radio with a antenna and flashlight that operates on batteries for camping. Service isn’t great with the antenna but I find it interesting how service is received on radios. Same with the walkie talkies that they use.
R51 is my favorite part of science live
I love watching the science lives, they’re so informative
The R-51 is interesting it really is laughter fuel!
R51 is so funny!
Really cool learning SOS on morse code
Benjamin Franklin was a very intelligent person. I didn’t know he was involved with the Leyden Jar
My favorite part was when r51 sent an SOS signal and then after that, there was a UFO spotted on the news.
Speaking of being grateful, we are grateful for this scholarship opportunity. Thank you so much! Evan is thankful for family, food, love, legos, video games, and our pet cats!
I found this science live very interesting, also happy late Thanksgiving
Inventioneering is AWESOME. Thanks for sharing
I love learning with Acellus
Science Live is so fun
Would the sonic boom bounce of the atmosphere and buildings causing it to be louder and heard farther than normal?
I enjoy learning with Acellus!!! (✿◠‿◠)
Happy Thanksgiving! Love this!
I love learning more about this kinda of stuff and im excited for the next video.
Cannot wait for the next science live!
Very cool 😎
hello from New York! i love science!
R-51 is a riot haha
I love how R-51 thinks he invented everything.🤣
Happy Thanksgiving! Nice book, Wayne!
Why is it that in places like Craig, that are constantly cloudy have so much algae in there ocean if algae grows with sunlight?
Being thankful and hopeful is the key to success!
R-51 was very great!!!
Learning about leydon jars and batteries was pretty cool.
R-51 is the best part
Thank you acellus I love learning with you
What is the tallest building in the world?
The tallest building in the world is the Bruj Khalifa, located in Dubai, Untied Arab Emirates. It reaches a height of 828 meters which is 2,717 ft.
Inventioneering is awesome!
The Navy is rather cool, my “brother” just joined a few months ago. I don’t know if I would make it past basic training 😂
I love learning and the cool part was R-51 i love jets.
Love watching these!
I am going to be a inventioneer
I loved learning about the Leydan Jar
R-51 is so funny!!
On parent’s phones you can check all that they have done and if it says science live video, parents know that your kids have done it and after you watch the science live video then you can do other fun activities and you have to do your schoolwork before you unlock your phone activities
Hi Acellus! I always enjoy watching the science lives and look forward to it every time!
Making batteries sounds like a real challenge
Happy Thanksgiving! I love the learning activities!
First thing is that it is interesting that the name of batteries came from canons. Second of all it is crazy to me that a batteries’ properties, and I guess principles were formed off of a jar.
I think it would be hilarious if Ben Franklin actually cooked the turkey with the layden jar.
180. is funny lol
Thank you for the video. Happy Thanksgiving.
I liked learning how things was made. thank you for this video. I enjoyed it. Happy Thanksgiving.
I love how you when into detail about Inventioneering and explained it in a easy way to understand!
When you guys mentioned the Concord I remembered I got to see it at the air and space museum in Virginia.
R 51 is so funny!
Love this science live!!!
How did the guy get the Leyden jar charged up?
Love R-51s code! so creative
Happy Thanksgiving science live fam! Excited to learn more next week!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I find science live fun, but the joke at the beginning is always my favorite!
Happy Thanksgiving! Great video!
Is it true that gravity effects everything?
this science live was one of the best
I love the R-51 skits!!
The more I watch science lives the more I love them! I really enjoyed the plane segment, it looked so funny!
Science lives are so fun to watch!!
Science is so fun!!!!!
What causes a sonic boom?
Thanks for explaining more about Morse code, it’s super fun to learn about!
So awesome!
R-51 doing morse code was very cool!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
I really liked that thanksgiving joke at the start, very clever!
Science Live’s the best.
how do you become an inventioneer through acellus
I really love science live!!! I really liked the story about the airplane tilting up!
I thought Joshua explaining the scholarship helped me understand if I was signed in. Happy late Thanksgiving!
i enjoyed this very much!!!!💞
I loved this science live! Thank you!
I love Acellus
Because of Acellus I think that someday I may just make the cut and get into BYU (Brigham Young University)
R-51 is so funny!
AGH! That’s such a cute book, Wayne!! You know, I actually never knew that electricity flows positive to negative thing! Yet, here I am loving changing batteries for some reason… LOL. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and happy holidays!!!
Hi from indiana!
Hi from Delaware
The Navy science cruises sound so cool!
Happy thanksgiving!!
Inventioneering is so cool, I learn something new every time I watch science live.
Area 51 is awesome!
Thanks for the show! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving from Tennessee!!!!
I loved your book Wayne!
So I have a question for Dr.Roger Billings. What first inspired you to begin working with Hydrogen?
Wow this was a great video! I can’t wait for more! Also, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy holidays, I really love learning about aerodynamics and I hope to be a pilot in the future or at least learn how to fly a plane
I liked learning about the Leyden jar from the 1700’s made by a scientist in then city of Leyden. The jar would be filled with salt water and had a nail that went through the top of the jar and it was connected to a machine that produced static electricity. The machine would be tuned on and the electricity would run down into the nail and into the liquid. Years later Benjamin Franklin would be gifted a Leyden jar from a friend. He went on to do many more experiments with the jar.
The jet with the long nose was cool looking. R-51 in this episode was having too much fun with the morse code. Happy Thanksgiving!
math is one of my fav classes!!!happy late thanksgiving!!
I think it would be hilarious if you did a behind the scenes part in the next science live, where you would show the parts where the teachers were recording their videos and messed up/did something really funny. I also thought that the jet with the nose pointing down looked really funny.
yessss!! people who want this to happen, reply!
greetings from Wyoming. thanks for the live
Happy Thanksgiving! im thankful for science live!🦃
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! Happy to be back.
As we celebrated Thanksgiving, I am thankful and grateful for my family, friends, and Acellus. Learning about the jets was very interesting. I have never seen one with such a long nose.
Thanks Roger billings for another amazing episode
R-51 is so funny!
Hiii from New Jersey!
A baking class would be cool I bake with my grandma all the time I would love to jump in to more recipes and measurements and more details 😃 hope this will happen someday. I❤️ science live.
Who first discovered electricity?
I love the part about the Aircrafts! my dad was in the Air Force and use to work with wind tunnels so i loved that!
I love science lives.
Jets are cool!
Tobias is personally my favorite, he makes science more fun to listen to. Sometimes when I watch a science video on YouTube I get really bored. But Tobias makes it fun to learn, be is the best!
Hydrogen power seems to be the energy source of the future!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Thanks for another Science Live!
I think jets are really cool. My brother helps build parts for them
What liquid is in the layden jar?
How long has NASA been working on the X-59 project?
I love how people come up with these AMAZING solutions for problems in our world! The solution to the noise of the “sonic boom,” blew my mind!
I like learning about all the inventions from Tobias.
I love watching Science Live it is so funny and interesting to watch. It is cool to have a little bit of fun during school. Laughter fuel
I like r51 he is so funny i also liked the jet its amazing.
Love R-51
The development of how the battery changed from positives and negatives on the same side to the positive side at the top of the battery and the negative at the bottom of the battery is very interesting.
Loved this science live! Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving 🦃
Thank you Acellus for Science Live! I look forward to it every week
Thanks for sharing! This was great!
That’s a really cool airplane. Could it ever be used for the military
R51 Code: A.. B.. C.. D.. E.. F.. G.. H.. I.. J.. K.. L.. M.. N.. O.. P.. Q.. R.. S.. T.. U.. V.. W.. X.. Y.. Z..
I find the information on the NASA test jet interesting, Happy thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! I haven’t written my own book yet, but I’m going to try.
Making a plane that can go MACH 1 without the sonic booms is really interesting
Science live is always a good way to end the school day🌸
