Hi from kentucky
I want to learn ASL. That telescope is really cool. I didn’t know all that about Thomas Edison.
Love this school
I loved learning about Thomas Edison. Science lives are the best even when I have the flu!
I love your show!!
It is so fascinating how the Edison effect works!
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Incredible as always & an ASL course is genius. Oh, & happy holidays!
Awesome Live!
Awesome as always!
Watching from Las Vegas, Nevada!!❤️❤️
Wednesday is my favorite day !
Wow! Thomas Edison is so smart the thing he invented I use almost everyday.
Hello from West Virginia. Science Live is always so interesting.
What a great video this week. I enjoyed the other ASL course they have. I am really looking forward to the conspiracy theory course Mr. Edmonds plan on making.
The part about Edison was very interesting!
the way the keyboards predicted the words really fascinated me during Mr Tobias’s sciences vid
We should go over how a jet engine works, after all you were considering purchasing a jet, and it’d be quite interesting to learn exactly how jets work.
Science isn’t my personal favorite subject but ever since joining Acellus and watching these videos I’ve grown to really love the subject! Thank you for being a great teacher, see you next Wednesday!
I love acellus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The Eddison effect by Thomas Eddison is one of my favorite effects because it really shows the power of what vacuum tubes can do.
Love acellus! Happy holidays!
I can’t wait to start the ASL course. I’m gonna be starting it when I get into 9th grade, so I can get a credit.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays From Minot!
Wow! That’s SO cool!
I can’t believe this is the last Science Live of the year! I’m looking forward to next years Science Lives. I can’t believe the year is already over.

Hello from Florida! Loved today. Dr. Tobias, very interesting session. Thank you to Acellus!
I like the space telescope
I love how different subjects intertwine with each other like how in history class we always learned about Edison inventing the light bulb but you learn the science behind it in science classes or lessons like this.
Sciencelive is a important way for learning
This science live was very funny!
Hi from Nashville tennessee!
I can’t you how excited I am for the new ASL course!!!As someone who has tried to learn languages before none of them have really been able to stick except ASL. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to see it.
Great science live thank you!
Very cool live merry christmas!
It seems like Thomas Eddison was a pretty busy guy. And I didn’t have any idea that AI had any use in keyboards. This is why I like Science Live, I learn something new nearly every week!
this one was so interesting to watch!
I love r-51!!!
THIS WAS SO FUNNY
thank you for hosting another wonderful video
Hi from Alabama
Marry Chistmas! Great live, enjoyed watching.
I agree, I think the iPhone revolutionized America (and smartphones as a whole)
I really liked learning about Thomas Edison!
As a soon to be graduate, I wish you guys could set up technical careers on IST that we could take online while we make up our minds on what we will study in college. Als that the careers on IST could be expanded.
Hey, I’m graduating soon as well. I think that having online college courses would be a huge, but useful step for Acellus graduates. I know of a few colleges that offer online courses but I think that the Acellus classes are very eye-opening and are a great way to learn new things. I’m with you Francesca!🤗 If you agree with us comment in this post to!!
A senior,
Shelley
Happy Christmas y’all, and a merry new year 😉
I’ll have you know that the Edison effect fascinates me in ways you can’t even imagine.

I am thankful for electricity and to those people and mentors who made it happen😊

This was amazing!
I love watching these!
Happy Early Christmas Acellus Community!
Happy Holidays!!
I didn’t know that the iphone was the one that first had the touch screen.
I already knew of the Apple typing AI because of the Autocorrect, but I thought it was only used for the Autocorrect. Now I know it’s also used for ease of typing! It’s definitely a strange system, but if it works, it works! I do wonder what the other keyboard prototypes looked like. I’d guess that they’d look a bit silly. Thank you!
I love watching science live!
Happy Holidays!!
Hello teachers, how long would it take to photo the whole the whole Milky way with the new telescope? Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!
Hi from Texas

Great video. Have an Merry Christmas
Thanks for the live today!
hope everyone has a great christmas
Thank you. It was a wonderful episode.
It would be sooo cool to learn ASL!!
Merry Christmas teachers, and have a great New Year!
Never would have guessed that the biggest challenge of fully touch screen phones was the keyboard.
I hope that it launches in 2026. I know there has to be more planets like ours.
loved tonight live!!! cant wait for next week
Watching from Mississippi 🙂
I love science live!
Thanks for the live, happy holidays!
I went to the Edison home and Museum in Ft Myers, Fl where many of the experiments could still be seen in his workshop. There were original light bulbs.
Thank you for the video from Wyoming
