If you were able to meet Mr. Benjamin Franklin, what would you ask him?
Happy thanksgiving from Vermont.
Airplanes and jets are really cool!
I would ask Benjamin Franklin how he was so amazing!
I’ve always wanted to be a type of engineer.
I find these so entertaining, I love listening whilst I crochet and I always find myself listening more then crocheting!
i enjoyed learning about the batteries
great live. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus!
It was interesting to me how the battery makers teamed up with the packaging company to make the 9 volt battery fit the right way.
R 51 must had felt special today lol happy Thanksgiving to all of you
Great inspiring video! Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving! great episode
I LOVED THE VIDEO!!!
Happy holidays!
science is awesome
I really enjoyed this live today
Happy Fall yall!
This was another fun live! Keep it up.
Happy thanksgiving from Tennessee!
What would happen if the cameras ever malfunctioned on 6 59?
Hi from Dubai
Hi, Natalie here, from oregon
I like how they talk about the sonic boom
Is it possible for there to be multiple satalites at some point in time?
Science live has some crazy information, like the batteries for example.
Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving!
Is writing a book considered inventing?
it’s crazy how long batter have been around and used
Maybe I can invent something that helps me in gymnastics
Hello. This is oregon
Its always so interesting hearing about how things (batteries in this case) came about. I also appreciate the clarification about attendance.
if the nose of the airplane is down id assume it’d be harder to fly
Science is so interesting!
Thank you Roger Billings for the video!
Happy late thanksgiving!!! And wow, I didn’t know batteries where so old-
are different types/models of planes harder to fly? if so, why? and what is the reasoning?
We enjoyed the interesting story on the invention of the battery.
I love watching this every week!
Learning about the morse code was cool
This is my first Science live. Love it!
I would like to create my own invention someday.
Hello from Texas!! Thanks Roger!!
Science Live is so fun to watch.
I thought it was cool to learn how someone can fly a plane with no windows and only using cameras to see.
concord supersonic passenger jet
If the nose on the jet is that long for a one person plane. How long would it need to be for a plane that carries hundreds of people?
What are some ways an inventor can test if their invention is safe for use?
how does gratitude reshape the brain?
It is really interesting learning how the cameras are used to help the pilot know when and how to land the plane.
hi from Missouri
I learn so much from watching the science lives, thank you!
Is that long -nosed airplane designed to fly faster?
happy thanksgiving from washington!
Loved this Science Live! I would really like to learn more about airplanes.
That’s super cool!
Hello from Omaha!
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus!! Also love these videos!
Happy Thanksgiving Acellus.
Happy Holidays, everyone! I like how the videos add jokes.
Hi from Dallas TX, I love watching these lives and learning about science .
This episode was so intriguing! I loved it. I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving.
Happy thanksgiving Acellus Academy, on to Christmas.
It was fun learning about the history of the battery! I can’t wait to see what we will learn next week!
how many inventions are made a year
How do airplanes fly?
Happy December, are you ready for Christmas?
The battery portion was cool.
Hello from California
It’s cool how they can still see even though the plane’s nose is really long
I’m from Utah and some of these are really interesting.
I’m getting smarter with every science live
Happy Thanksgiving to all the staff and all the students watching. I’m very thankful for this opportunity to better my education.
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
r51 is the best and funny
This was awesome! I love watching these and getting to learn new stuff!
How many times do you think he got shocked?
hello from Nevada
hello from Nevada!
This science live was very good.
I wonder what types of things Benjamin Franklin would come up with in todays world with all of the new discoveries since he was around. It is fastinating to see how far we have come since then.
Ben Franklin was so smart!
Science is very cool
Happy Holidays Acellus
Happy Thanksgiving!
Is there internships in this category of science?
i hope you guys had a good thanksgiving
i love Acellus!
I am thankful for science live, and I think planes are interesting but I have never flew in one before, maybe one day I can. My cousin is a pilot. I find it crazy how big planes are and how fast they can go and not just drop out of the sky.
i think its so fascinating how airplanes are built and how fast they can go
It’s cool the new plane you designed has screens around it so the pilot can see.
Thanks for explaining the scholarship more!
Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving
I love the newly added feature of being able to see other students’ comments. Since it has been added, I always enjoy scrolling through and reading comments, especially during the episode where everyone was posting their design submissions! It’s a cool way to see what other students think and what they wonder about.
The batteries are very cool.
I like learning about the D battery and about gratitude.
I love science live! so many cool episodes recently. Thank you for reviewing attendance
I loved this lesson! Tobias is always my favorite.
What kinds of real-world projects do you suggest students try first when starting as inventioneers?
If possible, could you make the pages on the books longer in the activities for higher grades? I have some amazing stories that are quite long in my notepad
Batteries have been around a long time
Hello from Virginia, Happy thanksgiving!
The Area 51 segment was really funny and I think the story of how batteries were made was really cool
I am grateful for my family and my friends.
It’s crazy how far Morse code has come!
Thank you for another great episode. We enjoyed Dr. John talking about the X59 Supersonic jet and how they are trying to reduce the sonic boom sound. We also really liked Dr. Tobias telling us about the Leyden jar and how it led to Benjamin Franklin inventing the “electric batteries”. And R51 was hilarious as always!
Wow, cool thank you for this. I’m glad the scholarship attendance was clarrified! The battery part was cool.
I love these can’t wait for this wednesday!
Hi from Louisiana!!

I really enjoyed this SCIENCE live. It is crazy that you could create a spark the way described in the video. I am also looking forward to using my unlocked activities after I complete my goals.
Hello from Vietnam
How different would the world be today if we discovered electricity 100 years earlier?
I agree there is always something to be grateful for. I chose to see the glass half full! I found the pitot tube info interesting especially about the altitude changing the speed.
I liked learning about inventioneering.
I am grateful for Acellus. I learn so much with this program, and I don’t have to stress about anything.
I really would like to ride on one of those supersonic jets one day. That would be awesome!
If certain stuff was invented earlier or later coukd the trajectory of life as we know change?
Thank you for teaching us about inventing.
Inventing with solar energy is so cool, I like learning with Acellus thank you
Interesting jet design! Should be nicknamed “the Pinocchio.”
I love science live! This inspired me to try to invent something.
Morse Code was a cool invention!
Thank you so much Acellus Academy for this once amazing video. Have a good night.
I love this video! Hello from Nevada!
I love science and Acellus!
The way they made a 9 volt battery is pretty cool. My mom always says the same stuff to me about gratitude, she would be happy that I’m hearing it from more than just her
That’s so cool some jets can go faster than speed of sound. Im so grateful for Science Live for teaching me alot of new things. Thank you Mr Roger, Ms Pajet and everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for Acellus!
acellus is so helpful
Great live stream as always, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
wow i learned so much from this video keep up the good work this is amazing!!!:Di love these videos they make my day so much brighter
It’s funny that R51 did the morse code and said SOS on the clicker and he called the UFO by accident.
I have learned things on science live i would never had known!
Thank you for the clarification on the scholarship attendance!
I love Science Live! It is interesting to know that batteries came from very long ago 🔋

Hello from Atlanta
Happy Holidays Science live
How big is was the jar that Benjamin Franklin used?
Hello from Texas!
I really liked learning about the new supersonic jet. My great grandfather was a test pilot.
I enjoyed learning about the Leyden Jar.
Hello from Illinois!!!! Love it here!
The story about Benjamin Franklin using the leyden jars was very interesting! I had never heard of a leyden jar before.
I think the history of the Leyden jar is super intresting. I was really fixated through out the explanation of it.
Thanks for the video! I love the parts with Dr John!
Did Elon Musk invent the cyber truck?
If multiple people work on a invention together who gets the credit for making the invention, all of them? Loved this science live!
Happy thanksgiving!!!!!!
Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of the friends at Acellus!
Is always a pleasure seeing Science Live.
When you’re inventing something new — say a gadget or improved tool — how do you balance between making it as simple as possible and adding enough complexity so it’s actually useful and makes people go ‘wow’?
Watching from Texas!
Hello from Canada
There was a UFO spotting over Area 51
My kids love making books in activities 📚
