I love the little jokes at the beginning of the lives every week!
I always learn something new watching Science Live
I love writing books in the activities folder. it is so much fun!
Would it be possible for the sonic boom to be absorbed instead of dispersing?
Acellus is the best!
I think its a cool story behind how Ben Franklin coined the name for the battery!
R-51 is so funny!
i didn’t know that’s how batteries were named
very cool science live
I love learning more about Roger Billings’s life. Especially him visiting the navy ship!
I was unaware that planes could travel that fast!
R.51 Rocks
Thanks for the Science live! Be grateful for every blessing, big or small, Happy Thanksgiving!
Do you have to wear special gear to go faster than the speed of sound?
R51 always makes me laugh.
I feel like R51 just completes science live so well, he’s great! Happy Thanksgiving!
Researchers are coming up with a new complex of metal that has special properties
What a fun story, I’d love to fly a jet one day. My uncle is a pilot and I’d love to do that too.
R51 was extra funny today for some reason
humans are so amazing when they put their minds to it, there are so many ways now a days to invent stuff, wether it technology inventions, or by stuff like painting, crocheting, baking, ect, I find it so fascinating how you look at everything in the world and say “wow, a person came up with that” it’s fascinating!
Science live was really cool! I never knew that airplanes had that long of a nose. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Week!
i love r51 he is so funny and dr john is very informitive
R.51 and the space ship was really funny
I love learning new things every week r.51 is so funny
Thank you this science live was awesome. I especially liked the part of the X 59 I think it’s cool that they’re finally making an aircraft that can go past the speed of sound and does not make a sonic. Boom.
I really like Acellus and science Live
Why is the sky blue?
How aerodynamics have changed and adapted to new airplane sizes and shapes to stabilize balance and the ability for pilots being able to see for landings, etc is remarkable.
first of all, I’d just like to say that netflix and disney off my phone because there is no other tv show I need to watch except science live. Second, um, I love these videos,But I didn’t really get why the airplane needed in needle nose. If we could just dive into the science behind that I’d love that.
Inventioneering is cool!
How can we invent something to help make cleaning up our toys easier?
My favorite part was the part about the jets, I thought that was very interesting
We love Acellus!
Gratitude is the best!
I have a friend named Ben Franklin! I would have loved to have met the real Ben Franklin and saw his inventions first hand. He was a genius!
I may have struggles in my life but also have many reasons to be thankful
Science Live is such a great activity! I can learn so much by just watching these videos.
It would be very cool if commercial supersonic planes will be available again thanks to Nasa’s discovery. 🙂
I wonder how they created this metal that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen? That’s so cool!
in theory would it be possible to make a plane that travels at the speed of light or approaching?
I rode in a plane before and when they told me the top speed I was like NO WAY. If I wanna join the Live on Wednesday, what time do I join in.
I love science💕
I love working in learning activities. Write a book is one of my favorites. I write about my family and friends. I get to be creative and practice my words at the same time. Thank you for making learning fun.
How high can an airplane go
I love learning about Morse code and R51 made it very funny to learn about, Happy thanksgiving to the wonderful Acellus team grateful for you guys!!!
Learning how batteries were made was very interesting! R-51 is always so funny!
I love how each episode ends with R 51.
I enjoyed learning about the Leyden jar
r 51 is funny! I live how you talked about studying
How long does it take to slow down after a sonic boom?
R51 never fails to crack me up 😂.
My Mom watched this with me and she laughed because she had no idea how batteries worked and why they’re called dry cell. She said never too old to learn new things.
I thought r 51 teaching us Morse code was hilarious.
I had no idea why batteries were called that!! that’s so cool
I thought Ms. Pajet’s sweater was beautiful. I could never miss a Science Live they are to interesting.
R51 is so funny he is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome live thanks so much keep up the good work guys! Have an awesome day
Acellus till I graduate!
Thank y’all so much for Acellus Live!! I love getting to learn so many new things each week.
Is the jet stelth
Acellus is so cool and teaches me so much, happy thanksgiving to all!
What can help you feel motivated to create you dream invention?
Science live is awesome!!
I really enjoyed this episode of Science Live! The concept of the Leyden Jar explained was fascinating to me. Additionally, it was exciting and funny hearing about Dr. Billings’ adventure on the Naval Science Cruise after winning his local science fair! Dr. Pajet gave incredible advice on being grateful for what we have, and R-51 was very funny when he was making his own code. Happy Thanksgiving!
Very interesting topic. I hadnt heard of the Leyden jar before. Great episode today!
The learning activities sound like a good way for kids to learn and still have a good time.
Its so cool to see jets go that fast
Love this video. R.51 is so funny.
I loved learning about the batteries!
I think that the NASA plane was so cool! I love how they used science to reduce the sonic boom.
Happy Holidays everyone!
NASA is awesome.
I love doing homeschool with Acellus!
R-51 gave me a chuckle
I thought the supersonic plane looked like Gru’s nose
Enjoyed all the Thanksgiving references + Lady Pajet Monet short speech about gratitude.
I’m grateful for Acellus!!
I knew there were six smaller batteries in nine volts, but I didn’t know that was how they came up with them. It’s so interesting to learn the history behind everyday things.
Love listening to different ways of inventioneering.
Dr. John’s discoveries always blow my mind.
I didn’t know that a long plane nose could reduce the sound of a sonic boom.
The Leyden jar is so cool!!!
Who would you say is the most innovative inventioneer?
Science lives are my favorite part each week!
Happy Holidays, thank you for creating Acellus.
I love R51!
Inventioneering is very interesting and cool! .
Hello,
how’s your day going at Acellus?
My question is for Dr. Billing’s: how old where you at the time when you went on the Navy-Cruse?
Who was Benjamin Franklin’s friend who sent the Laden Jar?
I didn’t realize they used the earth as a conductor for the telegraph! Very cool!
Acellus has allowed me to learn so much more than I could in a formal school!
honestly I really enjoy watching the science live episodes.
Wow, I did not know that inventioneer is referred to a person who invents and engineers things.
The engineering that goes into the make up of planes is fascinating.
I love the Acellus program
I love R-51!! thank you for another live
I want to learn to fly some day
R51 is the best!
I’m thankful for the ability to watch science live anytime throughout the week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I enjoyed the part about those jets, I absolutely love planes!
Dr Johns part was vey entertaining, I love learning about aircraft’s
hello from florida!
R 51 is the best
I love R-51!!!
What other molecules would be able to be split in order to create efficient energy?
Can there be a chess class in Acellus?
That’s such a good idea! I’ve played chess for at least a year now, and it’s honestly my favorite!
The part about the jets was very cool and about how the first battery was invented!
Why do you have to complete all of your steps to be able to do the activities?
We love R51!
Learning about inventioneering was interesting
I love science live!!!
I really liked this episode today!
It must be so cool to pilot the X-59. Then again, you probably can’t really enjoy it because it was just a quick test flight.
Acellus is awesome!
I’m curious on the process of creating the plane. It looks great very cool looking!
My mom grew up in Pensacola and used to watch the Blue Angels!
I like R 51! He makes me laugh!
R 51 is fun
Inventioneering is interesting and fun to learn about
I’m thankful we have an oven to cook our turkey!
Area 51 is super funny beacuse it makes my entire family laugh when we watch it together
I’ve done other programs, but acellus is the BEST!
I did now that planes could go that. fast that makes me wonder how fast fighter jets go?
The nose on the X59 is huge! I would love to know how that affects the aerodynamics!
Interesting fact about the 9v battery
It’s almost like science can be a more complex version of art!
Comment
I love Dr. R 51.
R 51 Is my favorite part of these videos every week.
Learning how batteries were invented was interesting.
Learning about jets is exciting.
I love learning with Acellus!
Me to I love Acellus❤️💕🌈
I think it would be scary to not be able to see what is outside the plane with my own eyes, what if the camaras break or malfunction?
How many experiments did Benjamin Franklin run before discovering more jars made a bigger zap?
How does optic fiber cable work? Happy Thanksgiving.
R.51 needs a comedy show.
Never knew Ben franklin named the battery.🤯
Man I love Acellus it’s my favorite home school program
Happy Thanksgiving 🍗🦃
I love Mr. Isaac! He’s sooo good at teaching me Algebra
I enjoyed learning about different types of batteries and also R51 is hilarious.
Thank you for telling us how our parents can view our weekly videos I was a bit worried I wasn’t up to date but now I know im up to date!
Tobias is the best
I love R51
I enjoyed my first Science live!
Very interesting! I love Acellus!
Of all the school programs and apps and stuff accellus is the best
I never heard of invenoneering until now and I think it’s pretty cool how it all goes into Science.
This science live was awesome who else loved it?!
I love R.51
Is there a way to change you daily goal?
it depends if you are in high school yes you can but middle or elm you have to have your parent do it
I LOVE SCIENCE LIVE!!!! ( and R.51)
happy thanks giving y’all
I never knew where the name “electrical battery” came from. Laden jars are very interesting! An army of electrical power.
My first plane ride was from GA to Maui, Hawaii. It was the longest plane ride ever.
The Layden Jar is very interesting. I wonder, how the scientists were inspired to create it?
I had absolutly no idea socks was a dog it was completly a total surprise ending that was acually a good book!
How do you get attendance for classes specifically? I’m an adult taking the classes and I also work full-time so I was wondering how much work I had to do each day for attendence. I usually focus on one class a day so I can focus with my schedule.
I hope you guys had a lovely Thanksgiving!!!🦃
The “Write a Book” activity is my favorite. I like to share my ideas of stories.
I’m excited like Benjamin Franklin to do lots of experiments
I hope you guys really enjoyed your Thanksgiving!! 🤗🦃I am very thankful that you guys are making these videos for all of us watching. They are funny, they teach you many many different things, and they inspire me to do great things. Thank you so much!!
Science live is awesome!!!!!!!
I agree there is always something to be grateful for.
Does the super sonic jet take off with its nose down so the pilots can see?
I didn’t know there were quadruple batteries! Science live is peak I love getting to learn lots of new things!
I love watching science live! My favorite part is R.51! Happy thanksgiving!!
I think that the part about gratitude requiring your brain is very interesting! I will try to be more grateful!
What steps do inventioneers follow when creating a new idea or product?
My family likes the segments where you tell us the origins of everyday things this week it was batteries.
I absolutely love writing in my free time. I’ll write a fictional story or I’ll research more on something I’m passionate about.
R51 is my favorite!
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
I love watching these videos and learning new stuff every week!!
The end with the UFO was funny.
Planes are so cool! I hope that I can be a pilot in my future!
I learn something new every Wednesday!
Watching from Georgia! Inventioneering is awesome!
