I love the science lives
Love acellus!
Its always fun when I get a fresh new Science Live every week. Thank you guys!
The experiment this episode was very interesting!
Are all inventions science based?
Would the coherer still work with fewer aluminum balls?
I wonder how you did that it was so cool and I love this school and I wish I can meet you guys. Thank you so much.
I love science live!
R-51 is so funny
wow the light thing was really cool
When you spark the lighter how far can the lighter be away from the wires and the light still turn on?
R51 is so funny
I love when the science live has an experiment
R 51 is the reason i watch this show loll
When did LED lights first become available commercially?
I had so much fun watching this!
How can LED lights go from red to a different color?
Another great science live, loving the inventioneering series!
What is the smallest insect in the world?
Science live is amazing! thanks for giving us the opportunity to watch it. 🙂
Science live is always so interesting! Thanks for making this a thing!
Science Live is always so full of fun knowledge.
science live always finds a way to get me wondering
I find it so interesting that mold does these sorts of things!
How do the balls make the light turn on?
Learning about how things were invented really amazes me.
Science live always amazes me with their phenomenal experiments!

Merry Christmas from Tennessee!!
Thank you for what y’all do I love this so much
Wow! Such an interesting science live! Thank you for taking the time to make this for us!
Thank you for all you do on Science Live! Must be hard work!
I liked the segment about the Chernobyl frogs and also about the mold that grows better there because of the radiation. I thought it was an interesting idea to use the mold to protect astronauts from radiation in space. I just hope the astronauts aren’t part of the 3-10% of the population allergic to mold like me.
Watching from Tennessee, I enjoy learning about new things.
Thank you for always making science so fun to learn
What else can you use if you don’t have a lighter?
Mold can protect you from radiation is space. Who knew?
I love watching the demonstrations

If that thin’ is goin’ to the store, I’m savin’ up my credits!
Though, i’m tryin’ to save up for the Letterman Jacket.
I’m nearly through with the 8th grade, been here since the 6th grade.
I’m only 12, thanks to Acellus, I’m on track to graduate at early 17!
I’m going to enlist in the U.S Air force, hopefully to be a AMSS, Aerospace Medical Service Specialist.
If not the U.S.A.F Enlist, then the Marines, to be a Dog Handler!
Thank you soooo much Acellus!
I really enjoyed the demonstration! I also am very very excited for the acellus store to get the coherer kit!!!!!❤️🥳
