Science live teaches me so much
Science Live teaches me so much!
I am so exited for the new kit!
Science live is so cool!!!!
Inventors are amazing and I admire many for their creativity.
I loved R-51 today!
what is the best science joke you know?
Science live is always so fun to watch!
I loved to hear about radio waves, it was so interesting
Thank you for another amazing science live!
I love watching Science Live
Hi my sister Kayla S. LOVES!!!!! R.51 AND I MEAN LOVE LOVE HIM SHE ACTS JUST LIKE HIM! THANK YOU FOR CREATING R.51! And thank your for creating acellus!!
I LOVE IT!
Can’t stop watching these, can’t wait till next Wednesday.
I never knew that LED means ” Light Emitting Diode!” Science Live teaches so many points of science.
I love science live.
I cant believe how far along i am in school thanks to Acellus . I couldnt learn this much any way else. All the teaches make all lessons so interesting and very well explaned . Thank you again Dr. Billings !!!!
I learned morse code in another class and found the spark generator example super interesting.
One day I hope I invent something that no one has invented before
The LED prediction was spot on. In today’s time we use leds for practically everything from car headlights to using them as decoration (led light strips). Love these episodes
I love watching your videos
I watch this with my big brothers
Can we get more advice from parents and kids who got into college?
I love how he explains and goes into detail on every lesson!
This was very interesting! I love science live!
technology spotlight is my favorite
analyzing my sweat would be awesome since I hate blood test and needles.
I’m surprised so many people doubted the idea of the LED light’s color usage changing through the human race in the future. Pretty cool to see the doubters were proven wrong since LEDs are used commonly in the modern day.
I never would’ve guessed that mold would help with space exploration!! The radio waves and experiment were also cool!
I would love to be an inventor.
The discovery of radio waves is really interesting.
It’s amazing how people learn to figure out things by experimenting. Especially back in the days when technology wasn’t that advanced. R51 always makes me smile!
Happy Holidays, Accelus!!
I love what Acellus does for their students.
Awesome show this week!
Dr. Tobias is my favorite
Oh R51. He never gives up
This is amazing to learn! thank you!
super cool experiment!
Watching the Science Live videos are always interesting!
I loved this episode!😁💕
science live is awesome!!!
I really enjoy science live!
That experiment was so cool to watch.
My dad remembers when Chernobyl exploded and we just watch a show about how dogs have adapted and appear blueish in color. Very interesting.
The experiment was my favorite part.
Thank you science live for teaching me so much!
this is truly inspiring
What inspired you Dr. Billings to make a hydrogen powered house and do you hope to spread your hydrogen teach to all homes? Thank you!
R 51 is so funny😊
Love that experiment! One of my favorites so far.
When you Dr. Billings said, “when there’s something you can’t explain and doesn’t make sense you might be on a breakthrough.” What inspired you to figure out the problem and keep going because many would’ve given up. Thank you!
Science Live is Awesome!!
Science Live is my favorite part of the week!
I appreciate the motivation in this episode!!!
Hi! I loved this so much! R-51 is probably one of the funniest things ever!😂😂😂
I just love science live!!!
I enjoy learning new things each week.
I enjoy the jokes at the start of each episode.
I love watching science live r51 always makes me laugh
Love the skit with R51 🙂
tobais’ tie always make my day
I love these always look forward to Wednesdays
It was very interesting to lean about the invention of radio!
I love R-51. He’s so goofy😂
P.S. To whoever needs this, God loves you and wants to help u 🙂
Learning about the history of radio waves is very interesting
Thank you for teaching us about how inventioneering works.
If I could take a pet to mars I would take a rabbit, Because their small and can reproduce.
It’s cool seeing that invetioneering always connects those hypothetical ideas that serve as a foundation for creating practical and commercial inventions.
this is so cool, I would love to go to mars with a frog!
Science really is like magic but we actually get an explanation about what we see. I love it.
I love Science Live!!!
Love R51! He is awesome.
Fungi in space, that a new one
Acellus is a wonderful program! I can see the approximate date of completion for my classes.
Wow! Science Live is so inspiring!
Thank you for providing such interesting episodes weekly. I thoroughly enjoy every week.
It was cool to learn how radiation can change living things. like how the radiation changed the color of a frog and how there is radiation is in space.
Thank you! From Texas 🤠
I cant wait until the experiment is out in the store to buy
“What is this? What have you been making?”!!! -R-51🤣😆
Science Live is interesting.
I think Dr Billings should do more experiments from Area 51. It is so cool
Another excellent video, Very excited for the Possible STEM 4 coming out! One question, how long did it take Mr Billings to build the hydrogen car?
Thank you for providing such interesting episodes weekly.
Got me laughing for real <3 science
I always look forward to watching the science live each week!
Science live gives me such a new perspective on science.
That experiment is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can’t we see the invisible red beam
Dr. Billing’s always talks about the coolest things!
R-51 Is so funny😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
what would happen if there was water or moisture at the bottom of the cup.
This one was really interesting! I think the black mold growing with radiation is super cool! But wouldn’t it make the astronauts sick? Because it’s mold?
Mold as a pet? No. Mold as protection for astronauts in space from radiation? Yes. LED means light emitting diode, infrared into red light which is in the visible spectrum. James Clark Maxwell was a theoretical physicist that discovered radio waves with math, calculations, and theory. His skill level was pure theory and intuition. I want to be that intuitive! Must take lots of practice. A spark creates radio waves! A keystone inventor is a visionary that interprets prior discoveries and inventions and makes them practical and commercially viable for society…….I learned so much. Thank you.
Science live is my favorite!
Thank you Dr. Roger Billings!
How long did it take to create the Acellus Gold?
It’s interesting that in the 19 mile range that nobody has lived in since the Chernobyl disaster back in 1986 because of radiation caused by the disaster animals that live there, like frogs have adopted to be able to withstand the radiation, in the cause of frogs by having more melanin in their skin, causing them to be black instead of green.
always love seeing R 51!
Never thought I would see mold being used to help survive on mars 🤣
The experiment was so cool!
I always learn something new and fascinating when watching the videos.
When you get deep into science you will 💗 it.🧬🦠🧫🧪🔬
This experiment was so fun to watch!
I’d rather get a “sweat test” than a blood test (no needles!).
R-51 was very funny this live, lol
I love science. I love to learn new things.
Thank you for another informative Science Live!
How long did it take to invent the hydrogen car.
I love science live, it teaches me so many things. Can’t wait for the next ep!
learning about the constant development of inventions does bring hope to me that our society can continue to grow and grow
I love that in everyone of these i watch there is always a dad joke
I’ve seen every episode, and I’m eager for the next one.
That experiment looked really cool!
how much do the neutrons and electrons charge is needed to make infrared light
Today’s science live was very entertaining, I’m looking forward to getting the kit!
I am super excited for the coherer kit to to come out on the Acellus store.
Love the episode today! Chernobyl and radio waves
I love acellus
This episode was really fun!!
I liked the part where you guys talked about the rainbow and colors that humans can’t see. I wonder if some animals can see more colors than people can.
I love Science!!
the experiment was actually really cool
Infrared light is so fascinating, but is there a certain percentage of power you need for the neutrons and electrons to produce?
R-51 is always my favorite part!
Amazing experiment! one of my favorites.
Hello Acellus Team and Dr. Billings! These past few episodes have acted as wonderful incentives for us students to become inventioneers, and it’s evident that much work is put into each segment. I gathered much from this lecture in particular, and I am thankful that I did. Learning is such a principal part of my daily life, and I appreciate that as educators, all of you encourage us to lead with curiosity and see where it takes us.
It’s amazing how we take for granted all the amazing inventions that would never be without an idea.
I found this experiment and video so cool, thank you for the knowledge!
I think this was my favorite science live yet!!
I love science live so much, thank you!
I like how we break our steps down into smaller steps, I do this when I am studying, or planning a day event. I start with making list’s of what I need to do each day and before you know it, I have everything done.
thank you Roger Billings for the video!
I love learning about the process of inventing things.
The science lives are so thoughtfully created and fun to watch!
Watching from Delmar!
This episode of Science Live was excellent.
Hello from cold snowing MICHIGAN ! ;0
r51 is so funny
Is it true that mold could potentially be used to protect against radiation?
How long did it take Dr. Roger Billings to invent the hydrogen car and make it work?
This episode has a lot of helpful & inspiring information!
I really hope the sweat censor thing works because i hate getting my blood drawn and needles in general.
r-51 always lifts a bad day off my shoulders
Awesome Video
I love Acellus science lives!
Science live is awesome!
these videos really make see how science really impacts and improves our daily lives!
