WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCIENCE LIVE TEACHES SO MUCH TO SO MANY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
watching from tennessee
I love the history in this
I love how Mr Billings is so good at hydrogen things
These science lives make my day thank you!!!
I can’t wait for the next science live, they just get better and better!
Wow. never knew invisible light is the color of the rainbows.
this was such an exciting episode!
I love science live
Learning so much with DrB!
This is so cool!!! I never knew the hertz radio wave is named after a real person!! Merry Christmas
I think it is interesting how technology is changing the health care industry. The most interesting part was how they are looking into how sweat is connected to health and if we can use that instead of blood test for some of our health results. How LED started to where it is now.
The melanin in the frogs skin to make it more resistant to radiation is so cool. This really shows how the world adapts to its surroundings.
I am going to ask my Mom to help me build a circuit!
I love Acellus!
I love Science Live, and love Acellus. I love how I can control how many steps I have with each class every day and can finish early if I want to.
It would be really cool to invent something that changes the world one day.
Engineering is a key point of inventing.
Inventors are so smart and I love learning everything they know !
Wednesday’s are my favorite because of these.
I love how Dr.John explains science!
This video taught me that inventing is actually a lot more challenging than it seems. Although, being an inventor can be time-consuming, it can be fun. Are there any more tips on inventoneering?
Keystone Inventors seem to be the most important step in inventions because they make the reality of it come about. They take the science and make it into something that can be used.
Does Roger Billings like key lime pie.
How you make a Hydrogencar?
I liked the experiment. It looked like magic
This was a really cool episode!
I love the holidays! But I still do a lot of school.
Do you think we will ever reach Mars?
Engineering is so interesting
This episode was cool. I didn’t know relays were so important.
Its really cool that something so common like sweat can teach you about your health, I think its very important to teach kids health facts. I LOVED this episode!
My favorite is R-51!!!! it is so funny
This episode taught me how inventors come up with ideas that can change the world. Dr. Roger Billings explained that inventing is not just about having ideas, but about working hard and improving them to help others. I learned that being creative, curious, and persistent can lead to important inventions.
Im not a science person but watching science live is making science more interesting for me!
Science live seriously never disappoints!
Science Live teaches us so many things!
Love all the Inventioneering episodes!
I have always wondered what it takes make an invention successful! Always like watching Science Live
hi from Montana
These videos really help teach us so much of the facts behind things we do!!
That will be awesome if they can figure out how to analyze sweat instead of taking blood on health checks!
Maybe someday we will be able to invent teleportation!
Science live is so interesting! I’m excited about this one!!
Thank you Mr. Billings!
Love how Mr. Billings teaches things!
THANK YOOOOOOU!!!!

I think it’s cool that WD-40 has so many uses.
I love watching science lives!
It’s so cool that sometimes big things get discovered by mistake. I’m very excited for Dr. Roger Billings new kit! I also think that it’s so helpful that my parents can change my completion date for my courses. It helps me to stay on track and finish on time.
The part about keystone inventors was inspiring — I loved the reminder that one breakthrough can pave the way for countless innovations.
It is cool all the awesome inventions people came up with that we still use daily.
I would like to become an inventor! -Puerto Rico.

WOW I love science.
I learned about radio waves.
Did Dr Roger Billings really come up with the idea of the hydrogen car in high school?
I would not want mold as a pet. i did not know that about LED’S.
I want to be an inventor! I have so many ideas!
Isn’t mold bad for an astronaut? won’t it get them sick?
I really liked the part when they talked about the radio system
love these educational science lives!!
This episode was very informative and interesting!
I think inventors are so awesome!
This is so cool!!
It is like magic! I really enjoyed learning about radio waves and the spark generator
I❤️ Wednesday
science live is the best
