So interesting i love these lessons
Hey there from Rhode Island!
Thank you Acellus, for a great lesson!
Thanks so much for making videos!
Thank you for the clarification on the scholarship attendance!
I liked when they talked about the jet.
My favorite parts were the jets. And R-51 was cool.
I loved what Dr. John talked about!
Due to how early the battery was first created, who and when did someone make the first tool or multimeter to test the amount of voltage a battery produced?
Hello from Tennessee!
The battery portion was so entertaining! I learned so much!
Science live is so fascinating.
The Leyden Jar is very fascinating!
Science Live is great!
I find it cool and interesting how the jets are made to reduce the sonic booms.
I learned how airplane noses matter so that pilots and see and land safely.
how long do you think entell we can split water.
happy thanksgiving Rodger and everyone there I love what you guys have made it really help homeschooled families such as meeeeeeeee
Innovation takes time and patience.
happy thanksgiving. this one was funny
DO we know why they assumed there were radio waves?
I am thankful for Acellus and all the opportunities that it provides for me and my family.
I am fascinated with airplane science! Thanks for the lesson.
How do they get the nose of the jet to move from bent to straight?
It was funny that when roger billings was on the plane, they walked two at a time to one end and then ran to the other end.
I didn’t know battery’s had so much history
Hi from Louisiana
I liked hearing about the sonic boom and the science behind it since I have also experienced the boom before.
Can believe how old batteries are
tennessee It’s cool to see how batteries have evolved.
Hi from TX
Hi I am from Michigan, I love Science Live!!
Hello from Tennessee
Hello From Ohio.
science is cool.
Thank you for going over how to keep the scholarship. Also I didn’t know the front of planes folded down so they could see but that makes sense because I always wondered how they could see.
I never considered that art is also a part of inventioneering.
Hi, from Virginia.
Happy thanksgiving Acellus, I love this program so much and I think it teaches me a lot.
I love science live so much, happy thanksgiving Acellus!
never knew batteries came from that long ago.
Hello from Virginia
i loved this science live
I’m from Vietnam
I watched this with my brother. We didn’t know that an airplanes speed is different depending on the pressure. That is weird.
I never knew that batteries have been around that long.
I found it very interesting about the planes speed being different depending on the air pressure.
Thank you for another great Science Live.
Hi from Vietnam! This lesson teach me a lot about electricity. Thank you for this opportunity!
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!
I love the show! : D i’m from Georgia
Thank you for the science live! It’s very entertaining and a good way to learn.
Hello from Florida
I love science live!
I am getting a science kit for my birthday!
i love how the activities are meant to be fun while having us engage and learn! thankful for science live!
Hi! From Louisiana- we hope all the science live family has a happy thanksgiving
Thanks for make the scholarship attendance necessities clear
Science Live was amazing!
I learned how batteries have been used different a long time ago and the invention of it.
There were interesting points in this science live epsoide that have made me wonder, one of which was; what is the future of battery technology given we’ve gone from lead acid batteries, to where we are with lithium as of late. Is it possible we’ll see a replacement of lithium batteries as the marietals it requires to produce them become harder, and more expensive to gather, thus resulting in a shortage of batteries as the supply physically is not able to keep up with demand.
Might be a werid thought experiment I’ve taken away from watching this espoide, however I can now say I’m invested in what will power our phones, tablets, computers, even houses in the future if and when new battery solutions have to be found.
I have a invention i want to make but i do not have the money nor materials what should I do
Hello from Florida! Happy Thanksgiving!
Does hydrogen make bombs? Is it safe for people to have it at home?
Can you name ten things we use batteries in every day?
Is it theoretically possible to build a plane that could travel at the speed of light especially With how quickly humanity is advancing and creating new technologies.
Science is awesome!
I love science live!
Hi from Vietnam! This lesson help me learn a lot. Thank you!
What should I invent first?
I have a invention i want to make but i do not have the money nor materials what should do?
That was a really entertaining ,educational video.
Science love is my favorite part of the week
hi from mississippi
I love science live!
I LOVE ACELLUS ACADEMY!!! AND SCIENCE LAB
Hello from Connecticut!
hi from NJ
I love planes. We go to our Air Force air show every year. Happy Thanksgiving
Hello from Afghanistan! I love inventioneering and thank you so much Science Live for this opportunity to learn and grow more!
thank for always teach us!!!
I liked when Dr John talked about the jet with an oversized nose that reduced the sound of the sonic boom.
this episode really made me sit down and think wonderful time as always though.
Hello from Florida
Every time I watch this show I learn something new!
Hello from Louisiana!
I love R5 1
It was cool learning about batteries and how they work!
hi from paris
Loved the live lesson!
I learned so much, planes are pretty cool
This was really interesting to learn about, specifically the part about the planes and the relationship between speed and altitude.
what are magnets made of
How many g’s does the x-59 create at its peak.
I learned from Tobias’s explanation of how batteries work
Agreed…healthy competition is an amazing way to challenge one another to do great things.
Hello from Illinois!
What an interesting science live this was!
I love science live, especially the part when it was talking about the jets and how they were making them run.
hello from north carolina
Hi. Liam from Arkansas
What are modern batteries made of?
Hi! from New Hampshire:):)<3
thanks for inspriring so many
Happy Thanksgiving Science Live! I always look forward to learning new things every week!
In another science class I participate in we just made electrolytic batteries from copper, zinc, and salt solution so the segment on batteries was really interesting to me.
man I sure do love science live Dr Roger billings a real smart man
I Hope ever one had a really good thanksgiving !!!! this year
My uncle is a pilot and I thought the segment on supersonic flight was interesting.
I never knew the reason they were called batteries.
It seems like hydrogen would be a great alternative source of energy. Why do we not hear about companies developing hydrogen tech. To me it seems more environmentally friendly than even electric cars for instance. We need to create electricity to charge our cars but the electricity is still being generated by coal fired generating plants
These science lives are the best!
I always love these videos!!!!
hello from ky
I thought it was extremely interesting where batteries got their name.
Thank you for the science live. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Thanks for the science live. We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
I just got new walkie talkies. I like the ham radio and want one too.
What are the benefits of hydrogen power verse solar?
Happy December!
I loved the battery part
will all planes that can go faster than sound be built with the engin be on top?
How so the pilots see out of the back of the plane?
Happy Thanksgiving from Florida
best science live ever
Happy Thanksgiving Science live!
Who invented the first generator?
That is really cool that the reason the concord nose is bent is bc the pilots couldn’t see.
I used the book learning activity all the time. It’s my favorite. I also enjoyed learning about the x59. Happy Thanksgiving.
why is the noise so loud and does the down pointed nose actually help?
I love science live! It was very helpful!
Hello from egypt
I wish i could watch these live but the timezones are too off
I love science live
Thank you for the information, sending best wishes to you all!
Is the down pointed nose airplane hard to fly? And the battery portion was so interesting! Thanks for a great lesson.
Hi from Hawai’i!!
HI from texas!
Hi from Germany!
Happy Thanksgiving from Sophia!
I think the new supersonic designs are cool, but I’ll always love the Concorde.
The example he used makes it easier to understand how inventions grow from simple ideas.
I appreciate the explanation on how attendance works with science live!
hello from Jacksonville nc
Hello from Texas!
I had no clue Benjamin Franklin had such a profound impact on modern electricity.
watching from Thailand. I think the air plane was super cool i love to learn about planes!! To students that read this YOU NEED TO READ PERCY JACKSON!!! It’s an amazing book please read all the the books. love jazmyn
Science Live makes me want to invent stuff. Thank you.
John talked about a airplane with a long nose and he explain what is the reason for this feature. Tobias talked about Leyden Far and Voltaic pile. Roger Billings and Pajet talked about invention.
Awesome science live!!!!
Science live is the best thing EVER!!
Hello from las vegas!
I find it very fascinating about the NASA in the Sonic booms how they figured out how to angle the Sonic boom to go upwards
wow, didn’t know batteries were so old.
Loved learning about the jets!
Thank you for going over the scholarship requirements
How much charge/voltage can a Leyden Jar hold?
Hello from Vietnam
hello from ri!
I live science live, hello from Vietnam
I love science live
During the Thanksgiving season, we are grateful for everything. Invention involves both science and art.
WE love Acellus
I love science live!
I love Acellus
I wonder if NASA will actually be able to reduce the sound of a sonic boom, I imagine that they would have to make aircraft smaller to reduce the sound further.
How do you find out if someone else has already invented something that you thought you invented?
Have you thought about making an Acellus class about how to become an inventor?
I love Science Live!
What is your favorite invention?
Is it even safe to go faster than the speed of sound? Is it dangerous for the person flying? Not only because of momentum and the possibility of going out of control, but on the affects it has on their body.
The nose of the plane reminds me of a formula 1 car.
The Airplane bit was insanely interesting to hear about!
When did inventioneering become very important?
What do you think they would call the material when they find it?
