Inventioneering keeps getting more and more exciting!
I like learning new things with DrB
learning about all these new things is really fun!!!
Grateful for the support, Acellus! Thank you very much!
Watching the replay!❤️
Finding out radio waves were found through math and calculations was interesting.
Science is very intriguing, thank you.
Thank you for teaching me new stuff ❤️
i had no idea how fascinating radio waves really are! lovely video this week see you again soon!
How would the mold protect the astronauts in space without getting the individual ill due to mold exposure. In addition, how would NASA contain the mold for habitats and for astronaut shielding.
James maxwells is someone that I lokk up to as a great man of science
I love learning new things from these Science lives. I’m glad to have learned about radio wave. Thank you Acellus.
Hello from Montana! Love this lesson!
Hello from Thailand.
I appreciate you guys so much because in my old school I wasn’t learning anything I didn’t even know how to do division now I can do it with ease

Hello from Tennessee! I loved the science live today, thank you so much for making them every week!
How can inventioneering contribute to science and engineering. In other words how can science and engineering benefit from inventioneering? For science, does it lead to findings that give us more context as to how topics like biology and chemistry work? As for engineering, does it lead to ideas for products that we could rely on in the long term?
I learned a lot! I am ready to sharpen my pencil, get my paper, and invent!
Really cool live, we’re learning about circuits in Science!
I think a kit for Acellus’ store is such a wonderful idea! I’m looking forward to seeing it!
Hello from Huntsville, Alabama. This is my first day.

I like how researchers explored sweat to determine a person’s health. How do researchers analyze sweat to discover things like dehydration or illnesses?
I love learning from you every Wednesday!!
This was a very interesting episode, especially the part about how radio was invented.
I’m so excited for the kit!!!!!!!!!!
Love the science lives!!
That kids meal joke was funny. Who would have thought sweat would give out that much information.
Amazing video. Love Acellus.
Hi I am from China!
I loved this live because I want to start with how you plan each live is truly heart warming and how you talked about a history character that cotributed to key stone inventing. Also how we will be able to do it to and follow along and I can tell that you care because it shows in your works how you truly care about us students anyways I finally also liked the talk of health because you alot of schools dont talk about that so im really happy you brought that up I LOVE SCIENCE LIVEEEEEEEE !!!!!
Hello from Maryland!
I need to try that experiment that seems really fun!

Hi, from Nevada. How does a coherer detect radio waves?
I enjoyed the experiment this week with the radio transmitter. Thank you for a great science live this week.
That’s great that you will put the kit in the store! I like Tobias and Joshua.
Hello, from Nevada. Did the type of spark make a difference on the radio waves produced?
I love acellus academy
Just watched my first science live since starting Acellus! Thank you for a great lesson!
So excited to see Dr Billings in Area 51 today. My dad said his father was an electrical engineer for Lockheed Martin and he would go to Radio Shack and make him do experiments like the coherer one almost every weekend. That sounds so cool! To bad my grandpa has passed away, it would have been amazing to learn from him.
It is cool to see how these inventions work.
Hello DrB!
R51 is iconic I love him he is my spirit animal ❤️❤️
Hello from Canada, I am really interested in the LED part and I wonder how much the LED has been improved or even changed.
I look forward to the kit being available on the store. This is very interesting .
It is so interesting how ideas like the radio start of simple but advance in technology
I will not give up on my ideas!
Maybe one day I can invent something
Hi! Happy Holidays from California!

Hi from KY! I loved this science live!
R51 is funny!!!
I did not know black mold would survive in high radiation areas like that.
great job Dr. B!
That was amazing R-51 is really funy
It’s amazing how most science discoveries aren’t intentional. Superglue (e.g. gorilla glue) was not made to be a glue, yet now it’s known as an extremely strong adhesive.
I love science live, love learning new things
I loved seeing how everyone’s inventions expand off each other to create bigger things.
Thank you for this weeks Science Live!
